 p\;te=" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Upstairs House</em></a>\, b
 y Julia Fine&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>There&rsquo\;s a madwoman upstairs\, and only 
 Megan Weiler can see her.</p>\n<p>Ravaged and sore from giving birth to he
 r first child\, Megan is mostly raising her newborn alone while her husban
 d travels for work. Physically exhausted and mentally drained\, she&rsquo\
 ;s also wracked with guilt over her unfinished dissertation&mdash\;a thesi
 s on mid-century children&rsquo\;s literature.</p>\n<p>Enter a new upstair
 s neighbor: the ghost of quixotic children&rsquo\;s book writer Margaret W
 ise Brown&mdash\;author of the beloved classic Goodnight Moon&mdash\;whose
  existence no one else will acknowledge. It seems Margaret has unfinished 
 business with her former lover\, the once-famous socialite and actress Mic
 hael Strange\, and is determined to draw Megan into the fray. As Michael j
 oins the haunting\, Megan finds herself caught in the wake of a supernatur
 al power struggle&mdash\;and until she can find a way to quiet these spiri
 ts\, she and her newborn daughter are in terrible danger.</p>\n<p>Using Me
 gan&rsquo\;s postpartum haunting as a powerful metaphor for a woman&rsquo\
 ;s fraught relationship with her body and mind\, Julia Fine once again del
 ivers an imaginative and &ldquo\;barely restrained\, careful musing on fem
 ale desire\, loneliness\, and hereditary inheritances&rdquo\;</p>\n<p></p>
