this novel is part ghost story and part romance, but not as you might expect. Penner’s beautifully and thoughtfully written novel encourages you to take on your ideas of love, family, science, and spirituality. Ruth is a young librarian (you already sold me there!) who lives in Hamilton House, in Winnipeg Canada. Soon after she takes moves into the upstairs suite, she meets Lon. He’s a charming man but obsessed with cleanliness. Lon is on her front sidewalk, taking pictures of the building for his mother, Naomi, a widowed history professor. Through Lon, Ruth learns that the Hamilton House hosted world-famous s\u00e9ances in the1920s. When tragedy befalls the three, Ruth and Naomi develop a relationship that takes a turn for the queer, if such a phrase can be used to describe the complexities of Ruth’s sexuality. Part love, part ghost, all amazing.<\/div>\n
