Critics Review

A truly wonderful book. Hustvedt's gift is to be able to write about the most searing of emotions with extraordinary insight, measure and beauty. The result is a deeply moving memoir, raw with loss, yet luminous with love.

Sarah Waters, author of Fingersmith

Ghost Stories is a year of grief spun into wise, truthful gold. What a kind, honest book. What a gift of love.

David Mitchell, author of Cloud Atlas

All love stories must end as ghost stories. So we are reminded in Siri Hustvedt's tremendously moving portrait of a man, a marriage, and the joys and sorrows of a shared artistic life. Love and grief lie, inseparable, on every page. This is essential reading from an all-time great.

Sara Collins, author of The Confessions of Frannie Langton

Tender, elegiac and erudite, Ghost Stories is a paean to love and to its ultimate expression - grief. A remarkable achievement

Louise Kennedy, author of Trespasses
