Signed copies of Ghost Stories

Raw and compelling ... an intimate portrait of a life lived together and of an active, shared, formidable intelligence.
Chris Gordon
From Siri Hustvedt, Ghost Stories is a searing and intimate meditation on grief, memory and enduring love, written in the aftermath of the death of her husband, writer, poet and filmmaker Paul Auster.
We have copies of Ghost Stories that include a bookplate signed by Siri Hustvedt. Signed copies are available online and in our shops, but only while stock lasts.
