The Remigrants

A telephone call. There’s been car accident. Your husband is dead
In the middle of the night the doorbell rings. Standing on the front porch is your husband. He explains he had managed to extricate himself from the car, then hitch a ride.
The next few days you discover he has changed. He is cold, not only in his affections towards you, but physically. He neither sleeps nor eats, and is often unaware of your presence. Then, your best friend introduces you to a man who has spent his whole career in the study of The Remigrants. This stranger tries to convince you that your husband died and has managed to return.
Your husband drops his bombshell. He is returning to a far off land he visited briefly, and HE WANTS YOU TO GO THERE WITH HIM. At first you watch, then find yourself a principal player in this nightmare.
Alice and Nicholas Keene, an ordinary couple, living a quiet, comfortable existence; Lydia Keene, Nicholas' mother, flamboyant, a bit raucous, fond of both of them; Philip Rosen, M.D., their closest friend; Gus Sharples, who has devoted all his adult life to the study of The Remigrants. These people are thrown together in the unbelievable events following Nicholas' accident. You'll be swept up into their lives, curious to discover if what happened to them could ever happen to you or to someone you love; wondering how much truth and how much fantasy are in their story.
The ending may leave you believing the dead can and do come back. And praying they won't.
