If you're tired of the same old teen fiction story lines
try The ghost of heaven. Written as four novellas which can be read in any
order, this beautifully written book will stay with you long after you
have read the last page. Each story is connected to the other by the spiral, a
shape which has existed in nature since time began. They can be found in
prehistory where a girl uses blood and ochre to make spiral shapes on a cave
wall. The spiral is present in the Middle Ages when a young girl is tried as a
witch for using herbs to treat the sick. In the early 20th century the spiral
haunts a mad poet in a lunatic asylum. Finally, in the distant future an
astronaut on a spaceship sent to colonize a planet hundreds of light years from
Earth is confronted by the spiral as he chooses his destiny. This is an amazing
book which I could not put down or stop thinking about.
