About this listen

The basis for Joseph L. Mankiewicz's cinematic romance starring Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison.

Burdened by debt after her husband's death, Lucy Muir insists on moving into the very cheap Gull Cottage in the quaint seaside village of Whitecliff, despite multiple warnings that the house is haunted. Upon discovering the rumors to be true, the young widow ends up forming a special companionship with the ghost of handsome former sea captain Daniel Gregg. Through the struggles of supporting her children, seeking out romance from the wrong places, and working to publish the captain's story as a book, Blood and Swash, Lucy finds in her secret relationship with Captain Gregg a comfort and blossoming love she never could have predicted.

Originally published in 1945, made into a movie in 1947, and later adapted into a television sitcom in 1968, this romantic tale explores how love can develop without boundaries, both in this life and beyond.

This is not exactly a love story but a self-discovery tale, written in a very understated, seemingly simplistic manner. And the ghost is not really a ghost but more like her inner voice.
As for the narration, it was sublime, a joy to listen to.
5/5 stars without a doubt.

Written by a woman, this charming short novel explores the experience of a middle class woman in early c.20th Britain with sensitivity, humor and insight. Not a dull page in the book.

This old romantic comedy has all the elements of a great book, no wonder they made a movie and a TV series.

This is an old fashioned take, but clearly shows the difficult situation many women found themselves in. Lucy found her inner strength and lived her life in her own way.
