Description
Alice's ancestral home is crumbling. As her grandmother lies on her deathbed, and her relationships with her alcoholic mother and extended family members grow strained, Alice finds herself haunted by a spectral visitor. The ghost's cryptic and friendly whispers lead her on a journey to India, where long-buried family secrets lie in wait.
Her fiancé, psychiatrist Ronit Roy, is troubled by Alice's obsession with the supernatural. Yet, he finds himself irresistibly drawn into the labyrinth of secrets entwining her family's past. Together, they embark on a mission to India, seeking answers that lie at the precarious intersection of the living and the dead.
As the future beckons, Alice finally confronts a question that will change her life: will unearthing these hidden truths bring her closer to understanding herself and mend her familial bonds, or will the weight of the past prevent her from moving forward?
In Alice Sees Ghosts, Daisy Rockwell tells an unforgettable story of love, grief and wanting closure. A profound exploration of people trying to piece their broken selves together, this novel celebrates life in all its guises, and what comes after.

Reviews
-
A gripping saga that excavates the dark, all too human, secrets of a family straddling two continents, Alice Sees Ghosts combines cold psychological probing with deep compassion; pathos with humour. The felicity of Daisy's wordsmithing gives the narrative a unique personality and the reader wants to read on and on. And when it ends, entirely unexpectedly, on a happily-ever-after note, it leaves us with a humane alternative to the atomizing biological family of our day

Magical, unexpected and beguiling. Finding family can take you a long way from home – but also bring you back to it in the most magical way. Daisy Rockwell's dreamlike novel is an invitation to a quest brimming with friendly ghosts and unexpected discoveries

A delicious ghost story, a satisfyingly complex and dark-edged family saga, and a moving, often funny, novel about love. I enjoyed it from beginning to end
