From the award-winning author of IN THE SHADOW OF
BLACKBIRDS comes a stunning new novel—a
masterfully
crafted story
of love, loss, and second chances. Set during the
fear
and panic of the
Great Influenza of 1918, THE UNINVITED is
part
gothic ghost-story,
part psychological thriller, perfect for those who
loved
THE THIRTEENTH
TALE by Diane Setterfield or THE
VANISHING
by Wendy Webb.
Twenty-five year old Ivy Rowan rises from her bed
after being struck by
the flu, only to discover the world has been torn
apart
in just a few short
days. But Ivy’s life-long gift—or curse—remains. For she
sees the
uninvited ones—ghosts of loved ones who appear to
her,
unasked, unwelcomed,
for they always herald impending death. On that
October
evening in 1918 she
sees the spirit of her grandmother, rocking in her
mother’s chair. An hour
later, she learns her younger brother and father have
killed a young German
out of retaliation for the death of Ivy’s older
brother
Billy in the Great
War. Horrified, she leaves home, to discover the flu
has
caused utter panic
and the rules governing society have broken down. Ivy
is
drawn into this
new world of jazz, passion, and freedom, where people
live for the day,
because they could be stricken by nightfall. But as
her
‘uninvited guests’
begin to appear to her more often, she knows her life
will be torn apart
once more, but Ivy has no inkling of the other-
worldly
revelations about to
unfold. THE UNINVITED is an atmospheric,
haunting,
and utterly
compelling novel.
