Rating:  Summary: Marvelous and Thought Provoking Review: Poor Margaret - she accepted the proposal of someone she didn't love in order to be accepted by society and to escape being a spinster. Poor Bernard - a man who became trapped in society and it seemed to strip him of any interesting qualities. And then the Ghost - Phillip, who was wrongfully accused and hung for the murder of his second wife (mind you, she was a royal you-know-what).And so the triangle of love begins. The first half of the novel thoroughly has you feeling sorry for Margaret - and wondering how on earth she could marry Bernard when this dashing ghost shows up in her bedchamber... Well, all is not how it seems. The appearance of the ghost brings about changes in everyone for the better and the ending is totally different and much more fun than you would expect. This is a character illustration done so well, you don't notice till the ending. A love that needed to unfold slowly and in unexpected ways. And the changes in Bernard are the most dramatic and gratifying. I do hope you are not put off by the first review, as this is a keeper. I don't keep many - and this one is so worth tracking down - it will make you dream happy, fulfilling dreams, for this has a truly satisfying ending. Make the effort to find this, even if you check other sites, for it is truly worth it.
Rating:  Summary: A light-hearted ghost story Review: The first half was slow reading. I didn't exactly care to finish it but was curious enough to continue. The ending is worth the tedious beginning. Wrapped up, but still interesting in the mobilizations of the ghost.
