Review
"* 'A must for James admirers and everyone else who appreciates fine writing and an original story' - Ruth Rendell, Guardian * 'Chilling... Once you have read A Jealous Ghost, I'm afraid you won't be able to get it out of your head. Ever? Quite possibly' - Susan Hill, Spectator * 'Irresistibly readable and, finally, terrifying. Wilson turns the screw in masterly fashion' - John Sutherland, Evening Standard * 'Gruesomely entertaining... Intellectually fascinating' - Daily Mail * 'A tragi-comedy of elegant and unrelieved blackness' - Sunday Telegraph * 'Erudite and compelling... Genuinely hard to put down' - Sunday Times * 'Wilson has always been a brilliant storyteller, who - unlike many of his no less famous contemporaries - is incapable of ever writing a boring line... Masterly... Always enthralling... Here is a book one races through, so eager is one to know what happens next... In [Wilson's] hands, as in James's, each turn of the screw succeeds in intensifying the reader's unease' - Francis King, Literary Review"
Review
“A hypnotic storyteller who leaves in his wake a trail of curiosity and unease.”
–Anita Brookner
“It’s the sort of novel that ought to be more common than it is. Full of old-fashioned, raucous pleasure: a real rattler of an entertainment.”
–Philip Hensher,
Spectator“A big, broad, sweeping book, as disturbing as it is funny.”
–
Guardian“He grapples with the concerns both of the heart and the intellect and it is grippingly readable.”
