The Books Oracle

A Fine and Private Place

by Peter S. Beagle

In a Bronx cemetery, two ghosts fall in love while a living man who can see the dead becomes entangled in their world. Beagle crafts a gentle, melancholic meditation on mortality, love, and the liminal space between life and death. A quietly magical novel about finding connection in the most unlikely of places.
