The Small Hand by Susan Hill
3.0

This was the second of my "Halloween Reads".

It's a charming little novella telling a classic ghost story. It reminded me of the "true" stories in my first Halloween read [b:Ireland's Haunted Women|13353108|Ireland's Haunted Women|Christina McKenna|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1387753435s/13353108.jpg|18578467], in that there are more questions asked in the end than answered. For example was the ghost real or is it imagination/mental illness, if the ghost is real who is s/he, is it something to do with the history of White house? etc. etc.

Worth a read on Halloween, or by an open fire one winter night.
