review 1: The Ghosts of Kerfol is an anthology of ghost stories all set in one Renaissance French mansion. The stories range in chronological time frames from 1613 to 1982 and they're about people encountering the mansion's ghosts. The anthology is based on Edith Wharton's ghost story, Kerfol. The Ghosts of Kerfol is excellent. The protagonist of each story is very different from those of the others, and Deborah Noyes gives each a distinct inner voice, perspective, and reason for being at Kerfol. In a lesser talent, all the stories would have had the same style. Each story was fascinating; not a weak one in the bunch. I actually bought The Ghosts of Kerfol thinking it WAS Edith Wharton's Kerfol (maybe I'm ADD). I'm so glad for my mistake. Now, of course, I can't wait to find Wharton... more's story.
review 2: This book was not what I was expecting, given the book synopsis on the cover. Five stories, set throughout history, of people who are affected by the ghosts in Kerfol. Each has their own history that makes them susceptible to the “haunting”. As each character takes their place in the story, the reader can see which historical character they reflect, and why they are here. While it wasn’t a horrible read, per se, I just really never got into it enough to enjoy it. less
