If He Lived - Hardcover
Lillian Foy is a woman who feels too much. As a psychiatric nurse, she empathizes with her patients; as a mother, she mourns for her lost, runaway daughter. Now suddenly she has a new feeling, that her house, one of the oldest in the small Massachusetts town where she lives with her husband Freddy, has been invaded, violated by some past evil. And then Lillian sees the boy...IF HE LIVED is a ghost story, beautifully told, utterly convincing and all the more terrifying because it happens now, in our world, to people just like us. It is also the story of a marriage, of a relationship that is tested to its very limits by both forces we can recognise and those we cannot. It is an extraordinary achievement by a writer of truly remarkable gifts.
