If you are interested in reincarnation (as I am) then this novel is for you but it is also a lovely love story too.
Summary:
When Mike and Gally move to a new cottage in Somerset, it’s to make a new start. But the relationship comes under strain when Gally forms an increasingly close attachment to an old countryman, Ferney, who seems to know everything about her.
What is it that draws them together? Reluctantly at first, then with more urgency as he feels time slipping away, Ferney compels Gally to understand their connection - and to face an inexplicable truth about their shared past.

In fact James did write a sequel some 13 years later and although the characters are following on it did not grip me like the first one. However, please don't be put off by my thoughts. It is still a great story. It is interesting that the first book was published in 1998 and James didn't write the sequel until 2011...! That's some wait for a sequel.
Just a quick sidebar - I had watched the movie Carrie years before but had no idea it was by Stephen at that time.
Why not share your favourite with everyone?
I stopped reading Stephen King years ago. But I used to be a fan, and The Stand was my favorite of his works.
Everyone’s tastes change in reading choices but I have always liked how he creates characters. 🙂
My all time favorite is Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. So much so that my suspense novel The Girl from the USO to be published by TWRP pays homage to it in many ways.
Well that is certainly a classic story. Good luck with your book and thanks for dropping by.
