The Ghost and Mrs. Muir

The basis for Joseph L. Mankiewicz's cinematic romance starring Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison.

Burdened by debt after her husband's death, Lucy Muir insists on moving into the very cheap Gull Cottage in the quaint seaside village of Whitecliff, despite multiple warnings that the house is haunted. Upon discovering the rumors to be true, the young widow ends up forming a special companionship with the ghost of handsome former sea captain Daniel Gregg. Through the struggles of supporting her children, seeking out romance from the wrong places, and working to publish the captain's story as a book, Blood and Swash, Lucy finds in her secret relationship with Captain Gregg a comfort and blossoming love she never could have predicted.

Originally published in 1945, made into a movie in 1947, and later adapted into a television sitcom in 1968, this romantic tale explores how love can develop without boundaries, both in this life and beyond.

A love story

I remember watching this on TV as a child, Love it then and love the book. I actually found the DVD of this also just so I could see it anytime I wanted. Ive listen to the audio book and will probably do so many times.

Wonderful Narration

I already knew I loved this story, but now I also want to find more stories narrated by Elizabeth Jasicki.

One of my favorites

Love the movie and love the book. I really want to find more like this one.

Such a love story

has to be one of the most romantic stories ever. No matter what happens in her life Captain Grey is always there for her, his love timeless.

fun

Fun to listen to the original. A friend recently reminded me of this story. Enjoyed the TV series as a child. Recording is well done, except I thought she too often made Lucy's voice sound whiny. But the tone did contribute to the "old timey" feel of the story in sort of a wistful way. [I still think the story itself presents a stronger woman, particularly standing up for herself, "back in the day". Enjoyed the read.
