Girl who sees ghosts is haunted by Mozart who is pushing her into falling for the muscian who lives in her apartment building. (  ) Tweellow | Jul 8, 2009 | A delightful tale of a young Anna who moves from Kalamazoo Michigan to New York city where by day she is a teacher and by night a medium who is a conduit between those who have passed and those loved ones left behind seeking communication. When a classical pianist moves into her building, she is at first bothered by both the music and the musician until the spirit of Mozart nags and encourages her to develop a relationship with him. This is a quick, sunny read without a complicated plot. The writing was good enough to hold my attention and while it won't be one of the favorites of 2009, I can recommend it. ( ) Whisper1 | Jan 23, 2009 | This book was better than I thought it would be. Normally this type of novel wouldn't interest me but I came across it via an online book club to which I had subscribed. The plot moved smoothly and character development and dialog were handled with skill. I'd recommend this book. (  ) vfranklyn | Nov 5, 2008 | She will be remembered for her excellent "The Artist's Way" more than for this effort. bolero | Jul 4, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312369115, Hardcover)Meet Anna, a thirtysomething Midwesterner living alone in New York City. A schoolteacher by day, she is a medium by night, covertly helping people reunite with their lost loved ones. Anna leads a double life, guarding her secret as much as she guards her heart—until Edward, a gangly yet quietly handsome concert pianist, moves into her building. Edward’s music fills Anna’s apartment with beautiful sounds that disturb her concentration and her lines of communication with ghosts. She and Edward fall for each other fast, but Anna is conflicted: By exposing her true identity, does she risk losing what may be her true love? And is music really his true love? Then a ghost begins to interfere—Mozart’s ghost—and while making a pest of himself to Anna, he begins to play matchmaker with unpredictable results.... An enchanting and irresistible love story in the tradition of Sue Monk Kidd’s The Mermaid Chair, Mozart’s Ghost will win Julia Cameron a whole new galaxy of fiction readers.

This story follows a young woman who happens to be a medium, a young man who is training for a paino competition, and Mozart's Ghost, who is rude, cranky, and has no concept of personal space.
The story it's self is enjoyable, but the writting style kept me from fully enjoying it. To me it felt like listening to a story my grandfather was telling. He'd start with one story, that reminded him of something else, that would remind him of something else, and eventually he would get around to finishing all of them.
This is how I felt Cameron's writting to be. She seemed to jump from one point of view to another, and the chapters where so short, it made the jump seem abrupt.
I will probably try one more book by her, just to see if her writting improves, or her style grows on me. Any suggestions of what else to read by her would be welcomed. (
