Face at the Window

"Dennis McFarland, having already surprised the publishing world by producing two novels of American life that were very successful despite being conspicuously well written, has now breathed new life into the traditional ghost story. 'A Face at the Window' contains all the customary elements, and adds to them a wryly humorous understanding of contemporary American domestic anxieties....Dennis McFarland has a most beguiling narrative style: he is sometimes funny and sometimes moving; in descriptions of the hauntings he is so exact that it is easy to suspend disbelief, and in his ulterior purposes he is persuasive. Behind the haunting of Cookson Selway by the ghosts of the hotel and the ghosts of his own past lurks the haunting of the author by the idea of the dysfunctional American family. The whole makes for a thoroughly satisfying novel."McFarland, Dennis is the author of 'Face at the Window' with ISBN 9780767901307 and ISBN 0767901304.
