National Book Award finalist Howard Norman delivers another "provocative . . . haunting"* novel, this time set in a Vermont village and featuring a missing child, a newly married private detective, and a highly relatable ghost.

*Janet Maslin, New York Times

Simon Inescort is no longer bodily present in his marriage. It's been several months since he keeled over the rail of a Nova Scotia-bound ferry, a massive heart attack to blame. Simon's widow, Lorca Pell, has sold their farmhouse to newlyweds Zachary and Muriel--after revealing that the deed contains a "ghost clause," an actual legal clause, not unheard of in Vermont, allowing for reimbursement if a recently purchased home turns out to be haunted.

In fact, Simon finds himself still at home: "Every waking moment, I'm astonished I have any consciousness . . . What am I to call myself now, a revenant?" He spends time replaying his marriage in his own mind, as if in poignant reel-to-reel, while also engaging in occasionally intimate observation of the new homeowners. But soon the crisis of a missing child, a local eleven-year-old, threatens the tenuous domestic equilibrium, as the weight of the case falls to Zachary, a rookie private detective with the Green Mountain Agency.

The Ghost Clause is a heartrending, affirming portrait of two marriages--one in its afterlife, one new and erotically charged--and of the Vermont village life that sustains and remakes them.

Soothing Post-Laser!! Ideal for Aging Skin ~
I just had my first CO2 Laser treatment and once you get past the required use of occlusives (Aquaphor, Doctor Rogers Healing Balm, Vaseline etc.), I was searching for something lighter that allowed my skin to breath yet soothed the dry, itching discomfort. La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Gel was the answer! After laser treatment, you can experience discomfort for up to 10 days. This gel is super lightweight, spreads easily and is not greasy. A small amount easily covered my face and neck. I like the fact that it is fragrance free - I experienced zero irritation. I found the product extremely soothing and really sped up my recovery with dryness and itchiness. This product was more effective than the lotion I was given my the laser specialist! I already use La Roche-Posay facial cleanser and love it. I am adding this product to my skin care regimen even after my laser recovery is complete. Ideal if you are looking for an effective moisturizer that is lightweight and really works on dry/irritated skin.

Great after tretinoin, post laser or for dry skin
This is fantastic post laser treatment. It is such a nice calming texture- no actives at all, just an extremely well formulated moisturizer that feel like silk on the skin. Fantastic and well priced. Great after tretinoin also.

A godsend!!!
Like many others have claimed, this was an absolute godsend for saving my damaged skin barrier. I have combination skin type so gel version was way more effective on my skin than the cream version and did not pill. My only reservation is that it’s such a small amount of product for the price. I felt that I went through this bottle faster than I would have like for the price I paid.
