A Buzzfeed Most Anticipated Book of the Year A The Millions Most
Anticipated Book of the Year
“A massively entertaining and slyly enlightening story nestled inside
another story like a ghost within its host.” —Kathleen Rooney, author
of Cher Ami and Major Whittlesey and Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk
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.
There’s a madwoman upstairs, and only Megan Weiler can see her.
Ravaged and sore from giving birth to her first child, Megan is mostly
raising her newborn alone while her husband travels for work.
Physically exhausted and mentally drained, she’s also wracked with
guilt over her unfinished dissertation—a thesis on mid-century
children’s literature.
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. 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. 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.
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).
