"A gripping saga that excavates the dark, all too human, secrets of a family straddling two continents, Alice Sees Ghosts combines cold psychological probing with deep compassion; pathos with humor." - Gitanjali Shree, International Booker Prize-winning author of Tomb of Sand
"Magical, unexpected and beguiling. Finding family can take you a long way from home - but also bring you back to it in the most magical way." - Nilanjana Roy, award-winning author of The Wildings and The Hundred Names of Darkness
"A delicious ghost story, a satisfyingly complex and dark-edged family saga, and a moving, often funny, novel about love." - Anjum Hasan, award-winning author of History's Angel
Alice Bloodshaw's grandmother lies dying in their crumbling ancestral home. Family relationships are fraught, and worsened by the mercurial behavior of Alice's mother. Then Alice, eccentric and attuned to the supernatural, is haunted by the specter of her grandfather. His cryptic message sends Alice and her Bengali psychiatrist fiancé, practical-minded Ronit, on a journey from New England to India and back again to unearth the long-buried truths that have choked and tormented the family. Bit by bit, Alice untangles the past to confront the legacy of aristocracy, secrecy, and colonialism in a quest to mend family ties and stop living as a ghost herself.
