Its characters are drawn without faces, hands, or feet, but their states of mind are conveyed without a misstep. The book is haunting-not because Laura spends time dressed as a ghost, but because of the heartbreaking sense of alienation that it depicts. At times, Teresa speaks in what seems like modern language, using “stiff” for a dead body or profanities that a young aristocrat would be unlikely to utter, but such choices serve to emphasize just how out of place she feels. Parallels are drawn between Teresa and Laura as they work to find themselves under very different circumstances. She’s taking the first steps toward creating a punk rock band with her friends, and Teresa’s poetry feeds into her bizarre song lyrics, with neither girl aware of the other’s true identity. Upon their first meeting, Laura is dressed as a skeleton. Through a mysterious, magical link, Teresa comes into contact with Laura, a modern-day, enthusiastic, somewhat disaffected teen who likes to wear costumes. But Teresa isn’t like her mother or her sisters she also enjoys writing poems about “vampires, crypts, and dementia.” She follows her mother’s instructions and memorizes suitable poems. Teresa lives in 1856 and is preparing to make her society debut. In Borja Gonzalez’s subtle, surreal A Gift for a Ghost, two girls form a connection despite living 160 years apart.
