"""Ghost Mother has so many pleasures: a gorgeous old wreck of a house, a charmingly flawed and sympathetic heroine, supernatural goings-on so real they feel historical, an incredible sex scene, no spoilers, and an enthralling story. It's the perfect summer book."" —Kate Christensen, PEN/Faulkner award-winning author of The Great Man and Welcome Home, Stranger ""Ghost Mother is a moving, thrilling ride! I was so caught up in the mystery of the narrator's possible haunting, I couldn't stop reading until I learned the story's many secrets. I've read ALL the best haunted house novels, but none of them have shocked me more at the conclusion than this mesmerizing plot! A must-read for those who love ghost stories."" —Mona Susan Power, author of The Council of Dolls, National Book Award longlist ""OMG I ABSOLUTELY LOVED Ghost Mother! I couldn’t put it down and sobbed through the final twenty pages. It reminded me of du Maurier’s Rebecca and, of course, Edith Wharton’s ghost stories, though the style and tone belong purely to the singular Kelly Dwyer."" —Joanna Rakoff, bestselling author of My Salinger Year"
