Frances Oliver writes psychological fiction with a dry, observant wit; The Ghosts of Summer follows a woman returning to a childhood summer camp to reckon with memories that may not be entirely trustworthy.
The Ghosts of Summer,will she ever make peace with THE GHOSTS OF SUMMER? Frances Oliver’s new novel is a dreamy glide down the stream of memory. Shadows chill and humour sparkles as her heroine faces her past to better understand herself and move on with her future. Complementing the novel is the short story “The Case of Dr Tisch”, a typically Oliver-twisted tale of an idealistic psychiatrist and his ambitious, impatient wife.
