Synopsis

Ghost Mountain is a mountain that appeared yesterday, changing the lives of the local people: the town drunk, a retired teacher and her dog, a young soul and his wife, an old soul. It is a story about all that is unmistakably present yet never truly fathomable in our lives. If you devote your life to seeking revenge … Whether Confucius had it right or not is of little consequence to Suzy Starlight right now because she’s on the run from multiple criminals plus the theatre’s security team who have orders to arrest her on sight. Her arch nemesis, Andrea Haley-Bone, has finally figured out how to win and she is going all out to make Suzy’s life a living hell. Dressed in a green anime kitten outfit, cut off from her friends, and forced to perform ridiculous tasks because Andrea is suddenly holding all the cards. It’s Suzy’s toughest challenge yet, and she must race against time if she wants to find a way to turn the tables.

Update 4.3.25: Ich muss nachträglich doch einen🌟abziehen, weil mir das Buch im Rückblick immer bedeutungsloser erscheint; Ursprünglich 11.1.25: ich war zuerst bei 4, weil Hession eine überzeugende, eigene Stimme entwickelt, kurze Kapitel, kurze Sätze, sehr angenehm zu lesen, manchmal hart an der Gre......more

Goodreads review by Alice on July 14, 2024

Picture the scene, it's 11pm in our hotel in Málaga and I've just finished my book before bed. I put the book down and Josh asks me if I enjoyed the book and what happened in the story. Me: so I started with a dog choking on a tennis ball and then 😭😭😭 Hession has done it once more, he has moved me. A......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on December 27, 2024

Das war leider nicht mein Buch. Zu düster, zu melancholisch und irgendwie zu experimentell.. Ich habe keine Ahnung, was mir der Autor mit dieser Geschichte erzählen wollte. Ich fand alle Figuren schrecklich überspitzt und unsympathisch. Und der Berg? Ja der steht da und ist einfach nur ein Berg.. ke......more
