It’s been driving me mad! I read a book many, many years ago about a woman who suffers a miscarriage and separates from her partner and moves up to Scotland.
When she’s there she spots the same crib she had ordered for her unborn baby, it was made by a man in the village.
The man has a daughter and part of the story is narrated by his mother’s ghost who is an unseen observer.
It stayed with me as the ghost mother at one point says she sees people’s imprints, so one character in the book lost a child who was hit by a car and the ghost sees this person’s imprint stuck in that moment, replaying it over and over and observes that a part of them will always be stuck there in that moment.
I’ve been feeling that a lot lately and keep thinking of this book but I’ve googled and googled and can’t work out what it is!
Sorry, this is probably all very vague but perhaps someone will know what I’m on about!
