I am not a literary kind of person who finds symbolism and metaphors, but I bet there would be lots to find in this book. Quirky characters with their OCD, co-dependency, depression, etc. living near a beautiful historic cemetary in London where one finds solace, inspiration and employment. Ghosts, revenge, first love, parental love, there's lots going on in this good read.
I found this book interesting and well written. Something about the climax disappointed me while I was reading it but I can't say exactly why except that it wasn't what I expected (but I try not to read too much about a book before reading it because I don't like knowing what's going to happen).
The story presented an afterlife that was neither fanciful or dark (quite mundane in fact) and despite the absence of religious premise still left this reader almost comforted by its potential for the dead to provide the living with companionship. I even dreamed of having my own ghost kitty last night.
