[close] A young couple buys an old Vermont farmhouse with a ghost clause- and what a ghost they have!
The story of a young couple and an older couple, Vermont life, Japanese poetry translation, and a missing child with a Nabokovian butterfly fixation. What could be better for a summer read? Actually, I found most of the characters excruciatingly annoying, but the wonderful writing saved the day.
