{"product_id":"visiting-ghosts-9780992256234","title":"Visiting Ghosts","description":"Bomble is dead, Mr Hubbard is dead, but Leo and Toby are very much alive. The psychologist's behaviour is not entirely ethical, and Ruth is gloriously and wonderfully wicked. Roland finds a surprise in his mother's wardrobe and the cow-girl finds her way across the bridge. Little wonder that these stories by Judith White won the BNZ Katherine Mansfield Centenary Award in 1988. First published by Hodder \u0026amp; Stoughton in 1991, the stories in Visiting Ghosts are quirky and unpredictable, exploring some serious issues in unconventional ways. Elegantly written, with acute powers of observation and wry humour, they explore the frailty and resilience of the human condition in a broad range of circumstances. This collection of stories, the first in the Timeless Tangerine series, is a New Zealand classic, and their author a significant voice in the New Zealand literary landscape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judith White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Timeless Tangerine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/26\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780992256234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJudith White is a fiction writer who has won awards for her short fiction, including the 1989 BNZ Katherine Mansfield Short Story Award. She has twice won the Auckland Star short story competition, in 1987 and 1990. In 1996, White was the Buddle Findlay Sargeson Fellow. White's first collection of short fiction Visiting Ghosts (1991) was shortlisted for the fiction section of what is now known as the Montana New Zealand Books Awards. Her novel Across the Dreaming Night (1999) is shortlisted for the fiction section of the 2000 Montana New Zealand Book Awards. In the Sunday Star Times Iain Sharpe writes: 'White is second to none when it comes to depicting states of anxiety, both comic and poignant. And the brilliance with which she enters into her characters' aberrant states of mind, signals a major talent.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Timeless Tangerine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40530862506099,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_712cd09b-583b-4bcd-9d2f-cd576dbc4f11.jpg?v=1666360019","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/visiting-ghosts-9780992256234","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
