Mateus's eyes arent so good these days, which is why he has been burying bodies in the wrong graves, and also why, while out walking with God, he trips over a young homeless girl. On a whim, Mateus decides to appoint the girl as his apprentice. Novo, who has been sleeping on the street with a dog-eared copy of 'The Savage Detectives' as her pillow, is determined to reorganise the cemetery, but she will have to hurry: buried awry, divorced from their names, the ghosts of Vivo are accumulating, unable to proceed to the afterlife without knowing who they are. Also, someone, or some thing, is on the loose, killing people and closing in on the one person who can make things right. Vivo is a town with a pigeon-messaging service, a phone booth used for romantic encounters, and a number of residents who are not quite what they seem, including a prostitute, a professor and a prophetic flower-seller. Oh, and the coffee is hellishly strong. Erudite and wise, magical and quirky, Sven Axelrad's debut novel is an enchanting adventure that explores what our names mean to us and who we are without them."-- $c Back cover. 504 $a Also available in electronic format. 650 0 $a Ghost stories $v Fiction. 650 0 $a South African fiction (English) $y 21st century. 650 0 $a South African literature $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Cemeteries $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00850521 650 7 $a Ghost stories, English $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00942411 651 0 $a South Africa $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Fiction $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Paranormal fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000475 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240320010520.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=31B1BCB4E67F11EE94C7D61345ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
