Ghosts of Night

Jean McKishnie Blewett

Ghosts of Night

Ghosts of Night

Jean McKishnie Blewett

In the quiet corners of Canadian small-town life, ghosts take many forms: the memories of lives not lived, the weight of expectations never spoken, and the spectral presence of those who came before. Jean McKishnie Blewett weaves a haunting portrait of loss and longing in this evocative novel, where the boundary between the living and the remembered grows thin. At its heart is a woman grappling with the shadows of her past, unfulfilled ambitions, abandoned hopes, and relationships left fragile by the demands of duty and respectability. Blewett, a journalist and poet who won national recognition for her writing and championed causes like temperance and women's suffrage, brings her sharp social conscience and lyrical sensibility to bear on questions that still resonate: what we owe to ourselves versus what we owe to others, and whether it's possible to truly escape the ghosts that follow us from our former selves.
