This disjuncture forms the basis of Peter Harrison's masterful, expansive intervention in intellectual history, as he challenges misconceptions about modernity in relation to supernaturalism and belief.

Claire Kehoe is at a loss. At forty years old, she's a widow, an empty nester, and a struggling artist whose passion fizzled with her marriage. Her husband's turn into abusive alcoholism ensured that Claire lost him well before he died, leaving her heart fractured and guarded. Committed to starting fresh, Claire becomes nanny to the young son of wealthy Banks Sexton. But it's his older son, Smith, who proves to be more than Claire bargained for. One older and the other younger than her by ten years, both men begin to express an interest that Claire can't accept. As they vie for her, the potential for heartbreak keeps Claire closed off from them both. As much as she tries to stay on her own path, Claire finds herself at a crossroads between these two men.

Anglie se přízraky a duchy odedávna jen hemžila. Britští autoři této knihy jen využili rozhlasových relací a vyzvali posluchače, aby jim podali svědecví o svých nevysvětlitelných osobních zážitcích. Ukázalo se, že poměrně velké množství lidí prožilo setkání s „duchem” - někdy měl podobu blízkého zesnulého, jindy byl podoben spíše postavě historické. Někteří lidé s podobnými přízraky mluvili, pili kávu, jezdili autem... Z jejich historek bude určitě leckomu běhat mráz po zádech. A pak se řekne - nevěřit na duchy!
