"Denise Giardina's extraordinary gift for conjuring voices of the past has never been more bewitchingly deployed than here in Emily's Ghost--a romance so tormentedly devoted to its struggle toward truth that Bronte herself would be proud of it." --Madison Smartt Bell

A heart-wrenching love story, Emily's Ghost plumbs the depths of faith, longing, and romantic solitude.
