Briefly, A Delicious Life by Nell Stevens
A witty, sensual tale narrated by the teenage ghost of a 15th-century Mallorcan girl who has haunted a monastery for centuries and becomes infatuated when George Sand arrives in 1838 with Frédéric Chopin. As illness, scandal, and local hostility shadow the couple’s winter on the island, the unseen narrator watches, meddles, and reflects on desire, art, jealousy, and the ache of living without a body, weaving centuries of memory into an intimate, bittersweet meditation on love and creative life.
