وصف الناشر
The book that inspired Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s cinematic romance starring Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison—one of the most passionately romantic movies ever made. • With a foreword by New York Times bestselling author Adriana Trigiani.
Burdened by debt after her husband's death, Lucy Muir insists on moving into the very cheap Gull Cottage in the quaint seaside village of Whitecliff, despite multiple warnings that the house is haunted. Upon discovering the rumors to be true, the young widow ends up forming a special companionship with the ghost of handsome former sea captain Daniel Gregg. Through the struggles of supporting her children, seeking out romance from the wrong places, and working to publish the captain's story as a book, Blood and Swash, Lucy finds in her secret relationship with Captain Gregg a comfort and blossoming love she never could have predicted.
Originally published in 1945, made into a movie in 1947, and later adapted into a television sitcom in 1968, this romantic tale explores how love can develop without boundaries, both in this life and beyond.
Vintage Movie Classics spotlights classic films that have stood the test of time, now rediscovered through the publication of the novels on which they were based.

What a joy to read!
I remember seeing this movie when I was a girl. I had a huge crush on Captain Gregg. Although it is one of my favorite movies, I actually preferred this book. It’s very well written and the pages just fly by. Highly recommended!
Great story
Definitely worth reading. I highly recommend this book. I remember the movie so well, and have always wished for my own Captain!
Great
This was great as a movie (1947,Gene Tierney, Rex Harrison) and is very nice as a book, too. I expected it to be boring due to it being an older story, but it was surprisingly well paced.
