ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

In Dolly Alderton's "Ghosts," Nina, a successful food writer, grapples with the complexities of modern relationships as she approaches her mid-thirties. The novel explores the themes of ghosting in romantic relationships and the gradual fading of memory in familial ones. After meeting Max on a dating app, Nina experiences the highs of intense romance followed by the confusion and heartache of his sudden disappearance. At the same time, she faces the devastating effects of her father's dementia as his memory deteriorates, leaving him increasingly disoriented and detached from reality. Nina must learn to navigate the emotional turmoil of both romantic and familial loss while finding her own strength and resilience.
