Meanwhile, there is a ghostly woman hanging around outside her house and - is that a rat in the kitchen?

A charming account of a daughter, a house and a fastidious dad: secrecy is not a trait found in Klein's writing, which is at times disarmingly honest. Her openness pays off - we get a full and nuanced portrait of her life and all those in it - Sunday Times (on The See-Through House)Original, moving and bracingly honest . . . Often hilarious - Guardian (on The See-Through House)A finespun, magical new grief memoir . . . Klein is a witty observer, even in the case of her own sorrow, which she rifles through and puzzles over with wry candour. Desolation and humour are expertly balanced throughout - Telegraph (on The See-Through House)
