Annie Hartnett is quickly becoming a favorite author of mine. Her combo of weird/border line dark humor with real life (hard) issues is a specific pleasure.
This is a story about Emma who has returned home to take care of her dying father with a mysterious illnesses causes him to hallucinate animals and the ghost of a long dead naturalist.
We learn of her brother’s addiction issues, her best friend who’s been missing for a while.. all while the ghosts of the local cemetery offer commentary on the lives of the living.
Hilarious and poignant story
