Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

‘Compelling... humorous and tightly plotted, with a superb sense of urban space’, Gwen Davies, adjudication, New Welsh Writing Awards 2021 ' Festival of the Ghost is about the ties that bond us; to history, to each other, shared trauma, the familial. Both an acute exploration of how the events of the past are “all around us”, imprinted into the fabric of time and space, as well as the relationship between a grieving brother and his late sister. Courageous, daring, humorous and deeply human.' – Joshua Jones 'Without doubt a future classic, Festival of the Ghost is a simply unputdownable novel from a true literary talent in João Morais.' – Richard Owain Roberts A grief-stricken, obsessive-compulsive young man discovers he can witness the events of the past. While searching for his recently deceased sister’s thesis, he strives to avoid the attention of its subject, a religious sect devoted to the memory of a serial killer.
