CAREY
A very unusual book. Set on an isolated island off the Maine coast, this story weaves back and forth in time. Artist Oisin MacDara has retreated from the world since the suicide of his twin sister. Blessed (or cursed) with "the sight," he waits for her to appear to him as have so many others who have gone beyond.
Instead of Nieve, his sister, he is visited by Aisling, a little girls of six, a ghost from the Irish potato famine. Over a period of a year she lives with the begrudging Oisin and grows to full womanhood.
This story explores the unique connection between brothers and sisters, as well as the unearthly relationships between souls, separated by time, but united by their suffering.
