Gail Godwin’s new novel is part coming-of-age story, part ghost story. Eleven year-old Marcus goes to live with his great aunt, Charlotte, an artist who lives
on a small South Carolina island. Marcus
is highly intelligent ,extremely observant and possesses a vivid
imagination. Charlotte, a self-taught painter, recounts the history of an
abandoned cabin on the North End. Her
nephew is fascinated by the dreadful story of an entire family, including a
youngster, who perished years ago during a hurricane. Marcus visits the “Grief Cottage” each day. Eventually, he believes he sees the ghost of
the drowned boy. This discovery both
excites and terrifies him. Grief Cottage follows Marcus through adulthood and touches
the reader with an unsentimental investigation of grief, remorse and hidden
memories.
