Georgie – sweet, innocent Georgie – turned to her and said, “Peach.”Īgatha fumbled around until she found Georgie’s hand, and then held it in her own. “It’s finally happening,” Agatha whispered. She walked over to Georgie and sat beside her. They were gone, all except for Georgie, who was suspended here in life only by a thin, glittering thread. If her old friends all appeared to her now, she would protect them with her last breath, which of course was too little, too late. But those girls she grew up with were such an important part of her life. Superstitions run wild throughout this tale and by the end, readers will never hear a bell, see a fedora, or eat a peach the same way again.Īgatha mourned for a lot of things she’d lost, but lately this was the loss she felt the most – the loss of friendship. It’s a simple, pleasurable journey with characters that jump from the ink and become as alive as the ghosts that haunt this story.

New York Times bestselling author Sarah Addison Allen does it again!
