She is struggling with infertility and bad spending habits when her husband, Jack, gets a new job that moves them from Chicago to a small town in Wisconsin. Impractical Lilly falls in love with a decrepit mansion well out of their price range--she is convinced that she will finally get pregnant and have a baby in this house--and Jack reluctantly agrees to buy the wreck. But when Lilly learns that her dream house was the site of a gruesome triple homicide\/suicide in the 1950s, she begins to experience strange occurrences that soon lead her to believe the house is haunted.

As Lilly learns more about the deaths and her visions become increasingly vivid, her relationship with Jack deteriorates, leading to a dramatic and irreversible climax.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerfect for fans of classic, gothic horror fiction, like Henry James's \u003ci\u003eThe Turn of the Screw\u003c\/i\u003e and Shirley Jackson's \u003ci\u003eThe Haunting of Hill House\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as contemporary suspense and horror fiction by everyone from Stephen King to Ruth Ware.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Union Square \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781454952824\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Union Square \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"New — £6.68","offer_id":47915942674609,"sku":"SB-1454952822-C0","price":6.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1454952822.jpg?v=1789700391","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/ghost-mother-a-novel","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
