The concept of the desire for reconciliation before death is not a new one but the multi-character, first person narratives here certainly express it in a new and original way. I loved the idea of the named saint of a hospice being there to help her charges if called upon. But this is not a ghost story, it is a poetically told tale of love with some fine imagery. Highly recommended.
Comparison: Jenny Rooney, Alice Hoffman, Hilary Mantel.
