Originally published in 1945, this charming novel explores the unexpected romance between young widow Lucy Muir and former sea captain Daniel Gregg, a handsome ghost who haunts her seaside cottage. A VINTAGE MOVIE CLASSICS BOOK.

Burdened by debt after her husband's death, Lucy Muir is forced out of her home and 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 discovering a special companionship in the company of 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 a source of constant comfort in her secret relationship with Captain Gregg. This romantic tale explores how love can blossom 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.

A classic, quirky romantic novel

Reviewed in Australia on 20 November 2019

A classic and quirky romance with an interesting insight to expectations of the day. A little dated now as expected, but still a lovely read.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 September 2017

Verified Purchase

Loved this story ever since I read my mother's copy. If you're a romantic you'll love this but bear in mind this story is set before the 2nd World War so it appears to be a little dated in its social attitudes, but I love it.

The Ghost & Mrs Sea

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 August 2012

Verified Purchase

Muir means sea, and that is pretty much the only thing that isn't explained in the book.

If you've watched the film be warned a lot is different. There's less dominance of the early years but it does mean we get to see what the Captain's reaction to one of Lucy's children's wedding is.

It's worth reading, whether or not you've seen the film, be warned though Lucy's son is a brat and you'll want him keel-hauled before you're finished with the book for simply being so unlike his mother.

The book rounds out the characters well, and includes little scenes that take off that Hollywood gloss and make it more realistic, such as the pawnbroker's shop.

The binding is very understated, and it's quite large, not large-print edition, but bigger than many books on your shelf will be.
