Revenant

by Melanie Tem
Revenant by Melanie Tem
Unrated

What happens when you lose the one you love? To death, to mental illness, to physical disability? You grieve, but, if you can let them go, you find your own life again. If you hold on too long, they haunt you...

Hannalore hasn't lost touch with her two children. They still come home for birthdays, even though they've been dead for over a decade. Elinor has a new husband now, for Alzheimer's disease has destroyed the man she married and left a sad, old shell behind. And Bill longs for the return of the son who was a mirror image of himself and will not acknowledge the quadriplegic stranger that came back from the hospital.

They, and all the others who refuse to give their loved ones up, owe a debt to Mother Grief – and she calls to them from Revenant. Her call cannot be ignored; it is sent to the mourners through those they have lost.

"A heartfelt, cathartic tale...the most genuinely haunting I have read for a long time." – Time Out
