by Norman, Kim
The Ghosts Went Floating captures the quiet, lingering feeling of a house that holds more than just dust and shadows.

The pacing is deliberate and gentle, inviting you to sit with the characters as they navigate their own form of existence. It is an ideal choice for readers who appreciate stories that favor mood and emotional resonance over high-octane plot. If you are someone who finds beauty in the bittersweet or enjoys pondering the unseen history of the spaces we inhabit, this book will leave a lasting impression.
