內容簡介: |
From the bestselling author of She’s Not There comes another
buoyant, unforgettable memoir—I’m Looking Through You is about
growing up in a haunted house...and making peace with the ghosts
that dwell in our hearts.
For Jennifer Boylan, creaking stairs, fleeting images in the
mirror, and the remote whisper of human voices were everyday events
in the Pennsylvania house in which she grew up in the 1970s. But
these weren’t the only specters beneath the roof of the mansion
known as the “Coffin House.” Jenny herself—born James—lived in a
haunted body, and both her mysterious, diffident father and her
wild, unpredictable sister would soon become ghosts to Jenny as
well.
I’m Looking Through You is an engagingly candid investigation of
what it means to be “haunted.” Looking back on the spirits who
invaded her family home, Boylan launches a full investigation with
the help of a group of earnest, if questionable, ghostbusters.
Boylan also examines the ways we find connections between the
people we once were and the people we become. With wit and
eloquence, Boylan shows us how love, forgiveness, and humor help us
find peace—with our ghosts, with our loved ones, and with the
uncanny boundaries, real and imagined, between men and women.
