Jenni is ghostwriting the lives of other people. It's a job that suits her well - still haunted by a childhood tragedy, she finds it easier to take refuge in the memories of others rather than dwell on her own.
Klara was a child in the Second World War, interned in a camp on Java during the Japanese occupation. She has never spoken of her experiences there, but as she turns eighty, she knows that the time has come to share her extraordinary story of survival.
As Jenni helps Klara shed light on her childhood and a neglected part of world history, she is forced to explore her own past, too. Can Jenni and Klara help each other to lay the ghosts of their pasts to rest?
Gripping, poignant, and beautifully researched, Ghostwritten is a story of survival and love, of memory and hope.
