Oisin is an artist. He's living alone on an island called Tiranogue. The locals there are part-descended from some rescued people from a famine ship. When Oisin was younger he saw ghosts, now he doesn't, so he's quite delighted that again he can see ghosts as his twin's death has haunted him in deeply profound ways.

When he finds out that his ghost is Aisling and she was one of the people who survived the wreckage but didn't survive long after that, his life changes, as does hers.

Although some of the scenes between Aisling and Oisin are a little troublesome it is an interesting and moving story. Has the quality of a legend while being modern and insightful. I liked how the different aspects of being haunted were treated and it explored several different types of ghosts.
