TWENTIES GIRL

Lara Lington's life isn’t going as planned—and that’s before she starts talking to ghosts! Rosalyn Landor brings life to Lara and to her late great-aunt Sadie, a drama queen if there ever was one. She’s a whirlwind who plots to recover a necklace that was stolen from her and constantly badgers her great-niece. Sadie was 105 when she died, but her ghost takes the form of her 23-year-old self. Landor successfully differentiates between the two 20-something women, portraying Lara as straightforward and modern, and Sadie as posh and refined. Further, Sadie speaks in the cadence of her youth in the 1920s. Landor sparkles as the unpredictable Sadie in this fun-filled story of family secrets, love, and learning to move on. E.N.
