Summary:
National Book Award Finalist Howard Norman delivers another provocative, haunting novel, this time set in a Vermont village and featuring a missing child, a newly married private detective, and a highly relatable ghost.
Simon Inescort is no longer bodily present in his marriage. Its been several months since he keeled over the rail of a Nova Scotiabound ferry, a massive heart attack to blame. Simons widow, Lorca Pell, has sold their farmhouse to newlyweds Zachary and Murielafter revealing that the deed contains a ghost clause, an actual legal clause, not unheard of in Vermont, allowing for reimbursement if a recently purchased home turns out to be haunted.
In fact, Simon finds himself still at home: Every waking moment, Im astonished I have any consciousness What am I to call myself now, a revenant? He spends time replaying his marriage in his own mind, as if in poignant reel-to-reel, while also engaging in occasionally intimate observation of the new homeowners. But soon the crisis of a missing child, a local eleven-year-old, threatens the tenuous domestic equilibrium, as the weight of the case falls to Zachary, a rookie private detective with the Green Mountain Agency.
The Ghost Clause is a heartrending, affirming portrait of two marriagesone in its afterlife, one new and erotically chargedand of the Vermont village life that sustains and remakes them.
