Nell Freudenberger's Lost and Wanted
As of the time of this writing, this book is the "#1 best seller in ghost fiction" on Amazon, which I didn't even know was a category, but ok. I think Freudenberger is an underrated author, but this book may do something to change that, because it's great! It's narrated by a physicist who is receiving communications from the phone and email accounts of a recently deceased friend. It's also about being a woman in a male-dominated academic field, about the friendship between the women, about grief, about sexism and racism, about motherhood, and about physics. I found the narrative voice here really engaging and really did think this was GREAT. A.
