Polly's ghost, drawn into and out of the unfolding stories of her son and other people, follows her own path, away from a tormented ghostliness and toward an abundant peace. Julia Glass says,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I liked this novel a great deal. It deals with the sweet story of a content mother of six who dies giving birth to a baby, Tip, and follows her never-seen son through the years of his life. In her attempts to make her son happy, she accidently sets out a vengeance-seeking man after her family.The book never becomes overly sentimental or gushy. The image of Polly existing after death as a part of her enviroment is an intriguing and beautifully done one. The love that Polly feels for her son is also well-done, seeming completely natural and true to life. Occasionally the writing becomes slightly bogged down with overdetail, but if you are not irritated by such developments, you will most probably enjoy this novel!
