Story
This breathtaking novel travels more than a century between two love stories set in the Australian seaside town of Lighthouse Bay. In 1901, a ship sinks off the coast of Lighthouse Bay in Australia. The only survivor is Isabella Winterbourne - escaping her loveless marriage and the devastating loss of her son - who clutches a priceless gift meant for the Australian Parliament. Suddenly, this gift could be her ticket to a new life, free from the bonds of her husband and his overbearing family.

Story
In 1947, Elisabeth Mander’s German nephew comes to stay: Stefan Landau, her dead sister’s teenage son, whom she hates and loves before she’s even set eyes on him. Orphaned by the war and traumatised by the last vicious battles of the Hitler Youth, Stefan brings with him to England only a few meagre possessions. Among them a portrait of a girl with long copper hair by a young painter called Michael Ross - and with it the memory, both painful and precious, of her life and that time between the wars.

Where scientists and schoolgirls, fair folk and Romans, intergalactic bandits, and intrepid orphans - decked out in corsets, clockwerk suits, and tall black boots - solve dastardly crimes, escape from monstrous predicaments, consult oracles, and hover over volcanoes in steam-powered airships.

Story
There are few criminal cases more astonishing yet less well-known than that of Graham Young. A quintessentially British crime story, it involves two sensational trials, murders both certain and probable, a clutch of forgiving relatives, and scores of surviving victims. A Passion for Poison tells the absorbing life of master poisoner, Graham Young, who killed many 10s of people in a murderous career, which began as a 13 year-old schoolboy in a North-west London suburb, with the murder of his step-mother in 1960 before culminating in four further life sentences in 1971.

Summary
For readers of Lauren Oliver and Alice Sebold, a sophisticated, literary ghost story that reminds us the past is never, ever forgotten.
In a small logging town in northern California, young Emma Rose Finnis was born and died. Now, no one remembers her hardworking life and her grand dreams - but she remembers. She remembers everything. Emma Rose is still here, one hundred years after her death...and she doesn't plan on leaving.
But when a determined hunter arrives with instructions to "clean" Emma Rose out of her haunt, the stately Lambry mansion, death suddenly isn't the worst fate imaginable. Emma Rose refuses to be hounded from the only place she's ever found peace, even if it means waging a war on the living...and the dead.
Lyrical and haunting, this spellbinding American ghost story alternates between Emma Rose's life and afterlife as the past and present become entwined in a compelling tale of loss, love and tenacity over a century in the making.

I loved this book, becoming completely absorbed with the main character and her story. I felt her situation reflected the hard lives many women must have found themselves in at the turn of the last century. If I have a criticism, it is with the ending which I felt simply petered out.

Outstanding Performance, Unique Tale
I was hooked from the start. Lauren Ezzo performs this beautifully written, unique tale with captivating nuance. Ezzo is a masterful story teller, blending the art of pause, silence and characterisation that is superb. Masterfully written, M. Dressler honors the intellect of the reader and listener. This may be the best audiobook I've had the pleasure to listen to in the past several years. A real pleasure, a work of art, this is a must for every library.

Literary ghost story
M. Dressler’s modern literary ghost story will give you chills for its beautiful writing as well as pleasure in the plot. The author is expert at titrating the suspense, as one twist after the other keeps the story moving towards its satisfying, and unexpected, ending. Ghostly and human characters pull the reader in. Who knew how sympathetic some ghosts can be.

Original, fascinating, captivating...
A wonderful original story that has a natural flow. I’m not particularly a fan of stories that jump between times and characters, but this one is different. I was quickly drawn in to the story and stayed interested until the very last word. Really looking forward to how the author will continue the story.
And the narration by Lauren Ezzo is exquisite. I could listen to her voice as Emma Rose, with that tinge of an Irish accent, all day.

Great, but confusing
I absolutely loved this book. The characters were interesting and there were these mysteries you couldn't wait to find out more about. The ending, however, disappointed me a bit and left me wanting a lot more. I didn't feel like I got all the answers I needed and the last chapter seemed to raise more questions than it answered. Still, the book had me hooked and I can definitely recommend it, I just wish the ending had been a bit less confusing.
