Summary: Would give 3.5 if I could
Comment: This was a good book, and certainly held my interest, but I found myself unsatisfied at the end. "More than You Know" is fitting because I wanted to know more, but I do not see this as a positive. For example, why was the ghost interested in harming others, particularly Hannah and Conary? Hannah, afterall, was unhappy in her childhood home life, so why would the ghost want to inflict more unhappiness on her?
The best part of the book was the parallel stories weaved throughout -- of two families, both with their own nuances and issues, and of complex family relationships. Gutcheon does a good job of creating the results our interfamilial relations have on the rest of our lives.
This is an intersting story -- one that might have been better if more detail of the characters were brought in. It was a fast read -- not entirely satisfying, but definitely compelling enough that you would want to read it cover to cover, and fast. I would recommend it for a quick, easy read.

Summary: a ghost story, a love story
Comment: Beth Gutcheon's "More than you Know" is a cuddle-up read for wintertime eves. Part love story, part ghost story, featuring a parallel plot told in flashbacks that eventually links to the present, Gutcheon's tale will charm you and keep you turning pages late into the evening. The book is seemlessly woven, filled with delicate turnings and impressions.
She writes especially well of her narrator's first love, of the days of passion and sweetness that the 17 year old girl found with a boy "from the wrong side of the tracks" in the small Maine village which is the setting for the book.
Highly recommended, "More than You Know" should propel the author into a wide readership.

Summary: Great Ghost Story!
Comment: I picked up this book randomly as I was walking through the book store. I liked what it said on the back about an old lady telling the story and connecting the past with her love story. I didn't understand at all that it was also a ghost story! And what a good one. Horror is not my genre at all, but this was love and history, combined with a ghost story. It was very creepy. I couldn't get enough of it. Now I can't find another like it even though I've been looking. Highly recommmended.
