One Night Two Souls Went Walking

"Ellen Cooney’s shimmering, remarkable novel follows an unnamed chaplain as she works the night shift at a hospital. The woman is haunted by her patients, as well as by what appears to be the ghost of a therapy dog that used to be a fixture at the medical center. This is a quiet book by design; it meanders gently, eschewing big plot twists or showy dialogue. Thanks to Cooney’s gorgeous writing and generous compassion, it’s also a literary triumph."
