I've read plenty of recent paranormal romances, but none come close to The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. I read a so-so ghost romance last year, and it made me yearn to read this book again.Maybe this book rises above those others because it sets its ghostly element in a realistic setting populated with believable people. Sure, the captain is a crusy sailor, but there's a real person there, even if he is a ghost. Mrs. Muir holds her own, too -- none but the strong could endure that household.
The book surpasses both the movie and the TV show. If you saw the movie, set aside your memories of it and read the book. (For one thing, the movie ruined the ending!)
