Kate’s husband is dead, but he talks to her. She’s alive and well but can’t remember the past few months. She also can’t go into her bedroom.
Canadian author Bonnie Grove makes Kate’s erratic choices feel perfectly reasonable, even though objectively we can see they’re not.
Talking to the Dead was a compelling read that stuck with me when I had to put it down. The characters could be real people, mostly well-meaning, often misunderstood. Kate’s complicated path takes her from camping out in her living room to finding a sense of hope and strength to step into her future.

I hope this is the right spot to leave a commetn in order for my name to be in the ring. This is a book I must read. If some other happy reader wins, then I shall just have to buy it, which is not a bad thing! :)
Hi Belinda, thanks for stopping by! Technically the comments belong on the “free books” page (see tabs across the top of the blog) but fear not, your name will be in the hat. I always check this post for comments too.
Hi Joanna,
Hope your summer is going well – with or without the sunshine. :)
We are off to a retreat centre near Calgary for a week of worship leading – should be a lovely time.
Every blessing,
- Sheila
