Ghosts by Dolly Alderton

Insights from Ghosts

The neighbors upstairs are a constant reminder of how life moves on. Their noise is annoying but it proves that domestic life is messy and loud.

“He was becoming a memory while he was still alive.”

Nina feels the loss of her dad long before he is actually gone. Watching his dementia progress feels like grieving a person who is still standing right there.

Max disappears without a single word of explanation. It makes you realize that silence is the loudest way to tell someone they don't matter anymore.

“I felt like I was losing her to a cult.”

Katherine getting married and having kids feels like a betrayal to Nina. Their friendship changes because their lives no longer look anything alike.
