The Girls and the Ghosts of the Old Manse Revisited

Résumé du livre

When Roxanne and her family move into The Old Manse, a former 19th century manse in the countryside in Northern Ireland, a new chapter of exciting adventure and peril opens for the almost-thirteen year old budding writer. The Girls and the Ghosts of The Old Manse Revisited by Ruth Skilbeck will take readers on a journey with Roxy, her family, her new friend Margy, and girls from earlier times; over three years from the conflict of the early 1970s Troubles, at home and on road trips including a near fatal van crash in a Swedish blizzard. But what is haunting the house? And what are the mysterious disappearing flames Roxy sees on the peat bog? Will she uncover the mystery of the girls who lived there before?

Each of the novels in Ruth Skilbeck's Australian Fugue series can be read as a standalone novel.

Read as a series, the novels proceed through recursion, going back in time, with The Girls and the Ghosts of The Old Manse Revisited also moving forward decades in its ending.
