Narrative Supposing Books More Than You Know

In a small town called Dundee on the coast of Maine, an old woman named Hannah Gray begins her story: "Somebody said 'true love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen.' I've seen both and I don't know how to tell you which is worse." Hannah has decided, finally, to leave a record of the passionate and anguished long-ago summer in Dundee when she met Conary Crocker, the town bad boy and love of her life. This spare, piercing, and unforgettable novel bridges two centuries and two intense love stories as Hannah and Conary's fate is interwoven with the tale of a marriage that took place in Dundee a hundred years earlier.

This is a pretty clumsy book... There's little consistency with the narrative voice, there are problems with referring multiple houses that come into play as "the house" at various points, literary devices like themes, motifs, etc. are all way too obvious...But what can I say? I'm a sucker for teenage angst, ghost stories and Maine, so I zipped right through this and enjoyed myself most of the time.

This woman knows how to write. I enjoyed this. It has a present day story and then another storyline in the 1800s which attempts to explain some of what is taking place in the present. Both are equally appealing, which is unusual in my experience. The main character's voice (present day) felt so real, right off the go. And Maine. I'd have to say the author must have lived in Maine, or spent a lot of time there because she really captures the wildness, the unique Maine-ness of the place, and its

I feel like I wasnt rooting for this book to be as good as it was in its early chapters. But by the end I felt sorrow for its younger characters, those who were teenagers in the 30s and being haunted by ghosts from the previous century.Two teenagers find each other in the midst of a summer that is turmoil for both. They share experiences of dealing with the same ghost separately and then together twice.Very readable.

I chose this book because it was set in Maine. It is two love stories set in two different centuries. But more than that it is a study of the people who live on the coast of Maine. The author did a great job of capturing the essence of not only those people but what their lives were like. I enjoyed the book not because of the "ghost story" aspect but because of this great portrayal of the people of Maine.After adjusting to the "back and forth" of the story lines, I found this book to be engaging

I'm not sure how this hit my radar as I am traditionally not a ghost story reader. I enjoyed the two stories and the way that Gutcheon tied them together. I am a wuss and thankful that it wasn't too creepy, more sad.

Hannah Gray, an elderly woman, returns to the house she summered in as a young woman and decides to tell us the story of the summer she spent falling in love and being terrorized by a ghost. Her story is separated by the story of a family who lived on the island across from Hannah's old summer house over 100 years prior to that fatefull summer. The love story is intense and unforgettable, the ghost story is scary as all get out(the scene with the ghost in the rocking chair kept me awake the

A good love/mystery/ghost story. I really couldn't put it down and read til 1:30 am to finish it. The ghost is genuinely chilling. The story kind of strange. The lovey stuff is pleasantly set in a lazy summer in Maine. Descriptions of the countryside were captivatin. Their relationship is cute, if a little slow at times. The ghost story, well, at first I really empathized with each member of the family, and then their petulance and selfishness really got to me. By the end, I didn't like ANY of
