<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The author of <i>The War Between the Tates</i> and the Pulitzer prize-winning <i>Foreign Affairs</i> now brings her irresistible wit to the ghost story. <p/>In nine spooky tales, Alison Lurie writes of women haunted by ghosts both literal and metaphorical: A woman about to marry Mr. Right is visited by the spirit of his first wife; a dead fiancé haunts a foreign service officer every time she has an intimate moment with another man; the ghost of a girl in a Halloween costume disconcerts the perfect housewife. A secretary on a diet begins to see obese people everywhere she looks; a self-conscious poet is shadowed by her intrusive doppelganger; and a capricious, malevolent spirit seems to have inhabited an acquisitive matron's prized piece of furniture. <p/>Delightfully strange and beautifully told, these nine tales show Alison Lurie at her luminous best.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Alison Lurie is the author of many highly praised novels, including <i>The War Between the Tates, The Truth About Lorin Jones</i> (Prix Femina Etranger), and <i>Foreign Affairs</i> (Pulitzer Prize for fiction). Her most recent book was <i>Familiar Spirits.</i> She teaches writing, folklore, and literature at Cornell University.
