About this ebook
The Haunted Woman is a tense, atmospheric novel that questions the nature of reality. Isbel Loment is leading an ordinary, if uneventful, existence. She is engaged to a rather boring man and is just passing through her own life. Everything changes when she and her fiancé rent a remote house in Sussex. In the house Isbel discovers rooms that appear to exist in different realities from her own. Her discoveries in this house will change both her life and her destiny forever . David Lindsay was author of A Voyage to Arcturus, and is considered to be one of the great British fantasy authors. His work forms a bridge from George MacDonald to authors such as C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien, who both greatly admired Lindsay's work.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5What an extraordinary, extraordinary book. Part odd romantic 1920s melodrama and part metaphysical, mystical allegory... it's easily one of the most unusual books I've ever read. You can't put it in any genre easily - although the temptation to call it a supernatural book is quite high, even though it patently isn't that - and seems, as the introduction states, to be written by two very different people. It's far from perfect but it's also one of the most astonishingly powerful books in places I've read in an age - especially the sequences with the staircase, room and the bizarre landscape. It most reminds me of Russel Hoban's "The Trokeville Way" and generally speaking Lindsay is quite like Hoban in tone as well. I'd be cautious in advising people to read this one as it may well annoy and frustrate but it is *genuinely* unlike anything else I have ever come across in my life.
