I had no expectations for a ghost story, just a story with a ghost in it, based on her previous work, and I absolutely loved "Her Fearful Symmetry" and just reveled in Niffenegger's writing.

Sounds like this one let you down....although I can see why from your review. The summary leads me to believe the same thing...a ghost-type story is within. (darn false impressions!) Perhaps is one goes into this book with the proper mindset (i.e. reads a few of the reviews) the "let-down" may not be so great, or the story may be appreciated as is. Good job on the review though! I like how although it wasn't your absolute favorite, you still give credit for the descriptive nature of the novel. Ouch. Sounds like this one let you down….although I can see why from your review.
