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.Binding Type: Paperback

Excellent - thick, and coated with rustproof coating
Color: black
Excellent quality - thick and sturdy with a robust rust proof coating on the entire piece. It can hold lots of different types of clothing.

Great as long as you don't mind the shelf down all the time.
Color: black
This mounts well and feels very sturdy and overall works quite well. The only complaint I have is that the shelf doesn't stay vertical when it's stowed. It needs some way to keep it from falling down and hitting my head.

Perfect for shorts
Color: black
Easy to install and the perfect drying rack for leggings, shorts and tank tops. I like that you can fold the drying bars back into the wall to lay flat. Just what we needed for our small laundry room.

So disappointed! The pieces do not fit like in the instructions or pictures. The top rack does not fit in the slots; it’s too wide. It’s unusable!!

hopefully your rack comes with hardware!
Color: black
Tried to order this twice and both times it arrived without any hardware or hooks. This is disappointing since the size and design is perfect for my space. Undecided yet if I should try a 3rd time!
