A lovely gentle haunting book: the idea of the small ghostly hand sliding into the narrator's in a ruined garden halfway reduced to wilderness is a beautiful one.

The following pages, however, although well written I felt lacked some of the tension that I had been anticipating, the narrator would tell of the fear and dread he felt but just fall short of conveying it to me. And the twist at the end, the explanation was just a little too obviously signposted.
It remains, however, a lovely little book, which just fell a little short of the anticipation it generated.
