I had a hard time with this book. It has an interesting premise- the main character is a ghost who does not remember who she is and must throughout the book search for clues to her identity and to her death- but the ghost's constant state of confusion means the reader is often confused as well. The ghost ends up haunting a melancholic English boys school, which seems to be where her three surviving sisters live. Even the strangeness of her bizarre family doesn't do much to lighten what was clearly a dreary life, and it makes for dreary reading.
