The Haunted Woman is a tense, atmospheric novel that questions the nature of reality. Isbel Loment is leading an ordinary, if uneventful, existence. She is engaged to a rather boring man and is just passing through her own life. Everything changes when she and her fiancé rent a remote house in Sussex. In the house Isbel discovers a strange staircase few can see, which leads upwards to three rooms, Rooms that appears to exist only part of the time or just in a different reality from her own. Her discoveries in this house will change both her life and her destiny forever. David Lindsay was author of A Voyage to Arcturus, and is considered to be one of the great British fantasy authors. His work forms a bridge from George MacDonald to authors such as C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien, who both greatly admired Lindsay's work.I wish I had written this one myself! - The Publisher

Über den Autor
David Lindsay was born in Adelaide on 12 June 1943. He married Margie on 23 Jan 1970; he has three children, Sarah, Jodie and James; and six grandchildren, Oliver, Emily, Tom, Maggie, Eddie and Bonnie. He was educated at Grange Primary School, Saint Peter's College Adelaide, University of Sydney (Bachelor of Veterinary Science - 1970), RMIT University (Melbourne Post-Graduate Diploma in Animal Chiropractic - 2000). Professionally, he is a veterinary surgeon with particular interest in physical therapies (chiropractic) of dogs and cats. He was the National President of Australian Veterinary Association (1985-86). David is not a mathematician, neither is he a cosmologist, a physicist, or an astro-physicist, which is strange considering the meanderings of this book. David admits to being obsessive when it comes to identifying and attempting to correct mistakes. Which is not necessarily a bad characteristic in a physician or diagnostician, even a veterinary physician. It has taken twenty-five years to work out a possible answer to what he sees as a mistake made by one of the world's most famous astronomers. It has been a philosophical quest in which it has been just as difficult to find the correct questions as teasing out the answers.
