It's a beautifully creative ghost story with a love twist. 

This short story is very well put together. Pete (the narrator) is good natured and gives a vivid account of the events leading up to the end of this story. There is also a morale to this tale. All in all, it's an interesting and intriguing story. I really like the way it ends. If you like ghost stories and looking for something different and easy to read, then this is definitely worth picking up 

Super story, such fun. Unusual, amusing and uplifting. Great for a wet day or winter evening. 

In many ways the story is about redemption and understanding, for both the ghost as well as the man who sees her. The quote by St. Thomas Aquinas referenced in the beginning of the story, makes a wonderful anchor for the plot. “Not everyone who is enlightened by an angel knows that he is enlightened by him.” 

During their talk we find out what kind of person Pete actually is. Your first impression of him at the beginning of the story will definitely change. I like how the author presented the character development in this way. Just, when you get lost in their talk you will forget how ghostly the story should be. And at the end, when you finally connect the dots Pete has made, you will gasp by how well the story has been written. Short, enchanting, and ghostly. 

The characters are varied and fun, the theme has multiple levels of complexity 

I totally enjoyed the read. If you are in need of a book to curl up with in bed, The White Hart would be a great choice. 
 
Garland’s tale is one of my favourites in his four part collection. It’s interesting, easy to follow, pulled me in, and I think, focuses on a topic I hear a lot about lately. His characters are well thought out and go through a journey all their own while still being relatable. 

If you like to think and overthink, then this will definitely get your brain waves rolling. 

Overall, this was a fascinating story to read. 

A feel good ghost story which isn't designed to spook or discomfort; instead the intriguing tale of Christine, along with that of Pete himself, is a moral one of how some men and women manipulate each other and at what level that becomes unacceptable. The story itself is light with a happy (if not entirely surprising) ending that will leave a warmth where other stories in this collection have left a chill. The lightest of the Red Grouse tales (in the edition I read) but very much a suitable one to end with.
