Relation Conducive To Books Madeleine's Ghost

Brooklyn needs a saint. Ned Conti needs a stipend. So the struggling young historian agrees to trace the mysterious past of a Brooklyn nun for evidence of miracles. Trapped in a neighborhood of cheap rents and failed promise, in a rent-controlled apartment suddenly, inexplicably seized by a beautiful and angry ghost, Ned's only refuge is the F train to Manhattan's East Village bars, where he and his friends drown their sorrows in drink....

But Ned is about to heed another call, the siren song of New Orleans, where the history of countless lost souls seems to rise from the steaming streets--and where, ten years before, he ended a brief, passionate affair with a woman whose memory has haunted him ever since. Here, in a city of spirits, Ned will embrace a dead saint and a living sinner...as a beautiful ghost offers him her desire. And his destiny....

Set amid the sleepless energy and seething passion of New York and New Orleans, Madeleine's Ghost is a spellbinding novel of lost love, history, and desire--a work of startling originality that is at once exquisitely written and compulsively readable.

Weigh Up Epithetical Books Madeleine's Ghost

There needs to be another option on Goodreads - 'Gave Up'. This is supposed to be a story about a ghost and a saint in Brooklyn. I actually rather liked the first person present manner of writing, and the descriptions of place and detail in general are excellent. But I lost the ghost and certainly didn't expect to get in back during Part Two, set as it is some ten years before and in New Orleans. Trying to be too clever I think and not what it was advertised as. Too many books to try to waste

An interesting premise of an other-worldly comingling with ours. Where it is detailed and captivating in the nuances and intricacies of how a thing is possible, however, it is light on the rationale and impetus for why this thing is necessary. The ethereal nature is fun to ponder upon and explore, but when it comes down to a tangible storyline and a deeper resonance, there is something lacking. In its place are some usual tropes: our world is devoid of the values and essence that only ghosts and

I'm just a few pages away from finishing this. It is a good plot, pulling three stories together at the end. At first, the author was a little too worried about convincing the readers he knew New Orleans intimately. He included every hard-to-pronounce street in the city in the characters' itenerary. His descriptions were a little wordy for me, too. For example from page 57: Today, as the sun sets over Broklyn, I am thinking of New Orleans. I am thinking of the iron filigree A and P and cupid's



It took me some time to get into this book (another one about ghosts after just reading "The Witching Hour" mostly because I was taking a short vacation to New Orleans) which is unusual for me. I don't put books down once I have started reading them, but I was encouraged by three enthusiastic readers of this book that it really was very, very good. I continued reading and can say that, although slow to start, it is an excellent book. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

I wish you could give half stars because I really wanted to give this a 2.5. There wasn't enough insight into the main character. But the locations were well characterised. I especially loved the descriptions of New York. But what was with all the green skies? Both NY and Louisiana were described as having green skies quite often. I have only seen the sky green once in my life and that was in outback Australia before a once in ten year storm.

I very rarely read novels written by men anymore, but for some reason I picked this one off my shelf (after a fifteen year snooze there) and I am so glad that I did. It is simply one of the best novels I've ever read.It didn't strike me that way in the beginning, though it was good enough. We meet Ned Conti, a rather directionless, down at the heels graduate student who gets a job finding documentation to support the canonization of a nun who died nearly a century ago. The past seems to have it
