THE FREQUENCY OF SOULS is a novel about electricity, relationships, love, and life after death. George Mahoney is a refrigerator designer, wedded to facts and the physical world, and with more than a passing interest in dinosaurs. Niagara Spense, his new colleague, is passionately seeking electrical evidence - via an old valve wireless -of life beyond the grave. She is six foot tall, with cloth brown hair, a hearing aid and glasses thicker than George's own, and he cannot stop thinking about her despite his solid marriage, pretty wife and two children. Like a force of nature, she turns his world and his value system upside down. Utterly original, funny, and touching - a real pleasure to read.
