Using Megan\'s postpartum haunting as a powerful metaphor for a woman\'s fraught relationship with her body and mind, Julia Fine once again delivers an imaginative and barely restrained, careful musing on female desire, loneliness, and hereditary inheritances ( Washington Post )..
As Michael joins the haunting, Megan finds herself caught in the wake of a supernatural power struggle--and until she can find a way to quiet these spirits, she and her newborn daughter are in terrible danger.
It seems Margaret has unfinished business with her former lover, the once-famous socialite and actress Michael Strange, and is determined to draw Megan into the fray.
Enter a new Upstairs neighbor: the ghost of quixotic children\'s book writer Margaret Wise Brown--author of the beloved classic Goodnight Moon --whose existence no one else will acknowledge.
Physically exhausted and mentally drained, she\'s also wracked with guilt over her unfinished dissertation--a thesis on mid-century children\'s literature.
Ravaged and sore from giving birth to her first child, Megan is mostly raising her newborn alone while her husband travels for work.
There\'s a madwoman upstairs, and only Megan Weiler can see her. --Sarah Lyall, New York Times In this provocative meditation on new motherhood--Shirley Jackson meets The Awakening --a postpartum woman\'s psychological unraveling becomes intertwined with the ghostly appearance of children\'s book writer Margaret Wise Brown. [An] assured, beautifully written book.
