You Came Back

by Christopher Coake (Author)

Synopsis

Praised by Nick Hornby and singled out by Granta magazine as one of the best young writers in America, Christopher Coake has written a heartstopping first novel about love and loss, grieving and belief. Mark Fife thinks he has got over the death of his son Brendan in an accident and the break-up of his marriage. He's in love again, he's successful and he believes he has grieved properly. But when a crazy woman claims Brendan's ghost is back in their old house, and his ex-wife wants so much to believe her, Mark finds himself desperately trying to cling on to his sanity. And desperately trying to discover where his future lies. You Came Back is a modern ghost story, a Lovely Bones for our time.
