Reviews
Neil Oliver is such a very good writer. Haunted is a wonderful book: part history, part rumination on life, and, of course a haunting book about ghosts, both apparitions reportedly seen and heard, but also the lingering memories, shadows and spirits of those from the past. This is a beautifully written, fascinating, deeply moving and thought-provoking book that lingers in the mind long after the last page has been read.
