The Haunting of Alma Fielding: A True Ghost Story

byKate Summerscale

In the suburbs of the city, a young housewife has become the eye in a storm of chaos. The argument in The Haunting of Alma Fielding develops through archival sources, narrative history, and voices from the period, attending to both broad patterns and the revealing details that resist them. That perspective connects the true ghost story to larger questions in body, mind, & spirit and history, without losing sight of the people living through the consequences. Rather than reducing its subject to a single lesson, The Haunting of Alma Fielding preserves its contradictions and shows why they remain important.
