Springtime: A Ghost Story by Michelle de KretserMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I read this in October because the subtitle makes it sound like a ghost story. And while the character does encounter a mysterious creature, it isn't a ghost story in the traditional sense. It is an interesting tale that includes sometimes funny/biting social observations (but blink and you might miss them), the seeming culture war between Melbourne and Sydney (the clothes Frances wore in Melbourne are ALL WRONG in Sydney), and all the while Frances is noticing things. She notices the flowers and plants, and how different they are. She notices how people interact with one another. And she notices a woman in an old-fashioned dress....
