A Certain Slant of Light by Laura Whitcomb


Another book in an increasingly popular format - books that are narrated by the dead, this story is told by Helen, who has been dead for 130 years, but whose spirit is sustained by attaching herself to a human host, as of late, an English teacher named Mr. Brown. Helen becomes suddenly aware of James, the disembodied spirit of a young man who has died years earlier. He too has attached himself to a human host, Billy, a teenage boy. James and Helen fall in love. So Helen searches for a more appropriate host that will enable James and Helen to continue their romance. A compelling novel with a twist at the end.
