About this listen

The basis for Joseph L. Mankiewicz's cinematic romance starring Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison.

Burdened by debt after her husband's death, Lucy Muir insists on moving into the very cheap Gull Cottage in the quaint seaside village of Whitecliff, despite multiple warnings that the house is haunted. Upon discovering the rumors to be true, the young widow ends up forming a special companionship with the ghost of handsome former sea captain Daniel Gregg. Through the struggles of supporting her children, seeking out romance from the wrong places, and working to publish the captain's story as a book, Blood and Swash, Lucy finds in her secret relationship with Captain Gregg a comfort and blossoming love she never could have predicted.

Originally published in 1945, made into a movie in 1947, and later adapted into a television sitcom in 1968, this romantic tale explores how love can develop without boundaries, both in this life and beyond.

this story should be a lot better known than it is - a quiet classic.

I loved this old book. Nothing like the TV series thank goodness. Very competently read at a gentle pace which suited the story. I was very sorry to finish it.

I’ve loved the film for as long as I can remember, so it was wonderful to finally be able to catch up with the pleasant little book on which it is based. A peaceful, a well read little tale. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would certainly recommend it to you.

The narrator does a wonderful job and reminds me of Rex Harrison in the film. A timeless supernatural love story.
