![]() ![]() It took me a hot minute to get into it, but once I immersed myself in Nina’s world I felt home (almost uncomfortably so) thanks to Alderton’s writing style.Ĭhapter after chapter, I kept coming back to the title of the novel: Ghosts, of course, at first seemed like a not-so-subtle nod to “ghosting” (a term Nina comes to understand well - same, girl). ![]() ![]() Seriously, wow.Ī bit Bridget Jones-y, though more acerbic and a touch more bitter, it follows London-based food writer Nina George Dean over the course of her 31st year as she contends with the evolution of a number of important relationships: with her best friends, with her ailing father and struggling mother, with a new boyfriend, and with her career. And wow, I really, REALLY wasn’t ready for the emotional terrorism that this extremely sharp novel wrought on my brain/heart/all of the above. ![]() I’d never read Dolly Alderton before, and actually grabbed her latest, Ghosts, on a whim. ![]()
