Ghosts

Description

The story follows Nina Dean, a successful 32-year-old food writer who seems to have it all: a new flat in London, a great career, and a healthy relationship with her ex-boyfriend. However, her thirties aren’t quite the “liberated” experience she expected. Her friends are moving to the suburbs and preoccupied with toddlers, her mother is undergoing a strange mid-life “makeover,” and her beloved father is slowly “vanishing” due to worsening dementia. When she meets Max on a dating app—a man who tells her on their first date that he’s going to marry her—it feels like the universe is finally providing some stability. But after months of intense dating and professions of love, Max does the unthinkable: he simply stops responding. As Nina navigates being “ghosted” by a romantic partner, she realizes she is also being ghosted by her father’s memory and her old life.
