OMG I ABSOLUTELY LOVED Ghost Mother! I couldn’t put it down and sobbed through the final twenty pages. It reminded me of du Maurier’s Rebecca and, of course, Edith Wharton’s ghost stories, though the style and tone belong purely to the singular Kelly Dwyer.  

--Joanna Rakoff, bestselling author of My Salinger Year

[Lilly’s] history is as harrowing as the mansion’s, the unsolved mysteries of which gradually unfold as the narrative progresses, producing an intricate and engrossing narrative riddled with information, clues, and enigmas that barrel toward a dramatic climax… The end is chilling and disturbing, capping off a haunting and unforgettable read that would make a fantastic book club selection. ----Her Infinite Archive
