Josephine Hart

first published 1995 Penguin (Non-Classics), 1997 208 pages

Laura Bolton is dead, but she will not go away. Her mother keeps a shrine to her memory, and her husband, Andrew, is haunted by her presence even when he is making love to another woman. The dead in this story have powerful voices, crying out to be rescued from the second death - oblivion.
