Book Overview
Combining the eloquence and compassion of great English storytellers such as Rosamunde Pilcher and Joanna Trollope with a keen sense for how we reconcile the present by connecting to our past, Judith Lennox comes to America with this international bestseller. Rebecca Bennett, thirty-one, financially strapped and reeling from a disastrous love affair, has just taken on the biggest project of her career: writing the biography of Dame Tilda Franklin, considered England's angel to needy children. Mining the past of this distinguished child welfare activist, Rebecca is amazed to discover a history riddled with the passion and pain of mysterious kin and unpredictable love. Delving further into Dame Tilda's life, Rebecca finds parallels with her own experience and begins to regard this woman as a soul mate. Soon a romance blossoms between Rebecca and Tilda's grandson, Patrick, and she is drawn even closer to the family. Yet, just as their relationship begins to grow, Rebecca uncovers a family secret that threatens to destroy her newfound love. Set against the stark beauty of the Fen country and peopled with memorable characters, Some Old Lover's Ghost is an addictive novel of tragedy, recovery, healing, and love that will raise you up and touch your heart.

I Didn't Want it to End!

This book has it all. History, relationships, danger, excitement, and a murder thrown in for good measure. I rarely find a book that engages me on so many levels, but this was one of them. A fine melding of the past and the present through the eyes of the biographer, it was a wonderful way to read the story. I enjoyed drifting back and forth between the past and the present. I bought the book on Friday afternoon and finished it by Sunday at noon, and wished there were more to the story. This is a great read!

I found this book to be so engrossing. Ms. Lennox has enriched my life in some small way. When I was done reading "Some Old Lover's Ghost" I felt as if the characters were standing in the room with me sharing their joys and tragedies. So compelling and so detailed is this book that one walks away from it wishing it were not done. Definitely a great book.
Wonderful book

I was thrilled with this book. I started the book thinking it was one of those "light reads" that would be mildly entertaining. I was surprised at the depth of the characters and plot. I had to finish it in one setting! A great read for a cold Sunday afternoon in front of the fire! There was just enough suspense to keep the reader on edge, but the suspense was blended in with a great love story! Highly recommended.
Great Story
