Banville, with these mugging moppets (a sullen photographer named Sophie, a lecherous scarecrow named Felix, a half-stuffed strawman named Croke, a dainty-n-fainty princess named Flora) gives us an abstract and almost dizzying look at the raw construction of one man's reality.
There are three children, who are looked after by Flora, whose job it is, a photographer, Sophie, who is doing a book of photos of ruins, an old man, Croke, and Felix, who may be wanted by the police and who may have some dirt on the professor and even on Freddie, but never reveals it.
Ghosts opens with a shipwreck, leaving a party of sightseers temporarily marooned on an island. The stranded castaways make their way towards the big isolated house which is home to the reclusive Professor Silas Kreutznaer and his laconic assistant, Licht, but it is also home to another, unnamed presence . . .
