If you've seen the movie, read this book!

I didn't even know that there was a book. All I ever knew was the old black & white movie with Rex Harrison. It was a movie I enjoyed. The book is a bit different from that movie. If you're looking for a "script" version, this will disappoint you. But, if you want to read the original words, then you will enjoy it. Some parts are a bit "slow". The ending will have you crying. Not a man's book.
Better than any film adaptation could ever be!

Since the 1960s I have read The Ghost And Mrs. Muir well
over ten times and, having stumbled across the admiring reviews
herein, will start reading it again tomorrow. It is a wondrous
amalgam of fantasy and reality, of the yearning for romance and
the painful gaining of maturity. I am a fifty-five year old male
upset to usually find Leslie's novel categorized as "romance" fiction.
Her world followed Jane Austen's by over two hundred
years, but Leslie's novel has much of the wit and merit of Emma
or Pride and Prejudice.
One of the best books!

I really enjoyed this book, and have read it twice already. It's a very touching love story. A widow moves into and old Sea Captain's house and she is confronted my his ghost. It is a very beautiful and tender love story. Captain Daniel Gregg is a real commanding as well as romantic ghost. Lucy Muir, the young widow grows to love him instead of fear him. I sincerly think it is one of the best love stories ever written. This is a must read. It's a decent romance story, at the same time full of passion. There's never a dull moment and it is alwsy each page, captivating, romantic, and interesting.
