"[captures] the bittersweet nostalgia of being at university [...]; making friends, falling in love, deciding what you want to do with the rest of your life."

I raced through this book! It is such a great read!
Don't let the title deter you, The Ghost of Gracie Flynn is not a paranormal story. https://t.co/FSskV2P5qJ

A. E. Housman, born on this day in 1859, inspired not only a huge literary following with his book “A Shropshire Lad” but generations of musicians, including the British rocker Morrissey. What about his poetry continues to resonate with the English soul?
