September 2010 Book of the Month.

A delightful read delivered in a simplistic style with short sentences and much dialogue.  It is very matter-of-fact about a woman who has seen ghosts all her life and spends a lot of time talking to them.  A pianist moves into her building and so the tale begins.  It’s a love story with lots of unexpected surprises and a host of charming characters, not least Mozart himself.  A book to read again and share with friends.  Interestingly, the author’s most famous work is The Artist’s Way, a self-help title on creativity.

Comparison: Susan Hill, Cecelia Ahern, Jennifer Johnston.

Synopsis

Meet Anna, a thirty-something living alone in New York City. A schoolteacher by day, by night she works as a medium, covertly helping people reunite with their lost loved ones. Anna leads a double life, guarding her secret as much as she guards her heart - until Edward, a gangly yet handsome concert pianist, moves into her building. Edward's music fills Anna's apartment with beautiful sounds that disturb her concentration and her lines of communication with spirits. Romance blossoms, but Anna is conflicted: by exposing her true identity, does she risk losing what may be her true love? And is music really his true love? Then a ghost begins to interfere - that of the famous composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - and while he causes havoc for Anna, he begins to play matchmaker, with unexpected results.
