From the award-winning author of IN THE SHADOW OF BLACKBIRDS comes a stunning new novelβa 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 Ivyβs life-long giftβor curseβremains. For she sees the uninvited onesβghosts 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 motherβs chair. An hour later, she learns her younger brother and father have killed a young German out of retaliation for the death of Ivyβs 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 βuninvited guestsβ 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.
