Time Of The Ghost
The Time of the Ghost is a supernatural children's novel by Diana Wynne Jones, published by Macmillan in 1981. Set in the English countryside, it features a teenage ghost who is one of four sisters, and observes the family, unable to remember which one she is. She is from seven years in the future, in the aftermath of her "accident", so it is a kind of timeslip story, but she has no memories of those seven years.
Greenwillow Books (William Morrow) published the first U.S. edition only in 1996. According to WorldCat, The Time of the Ghost is not among the twenty works by Jones that are most widely held in participating libraries.

Famous quotes containing the words time and/or ghost:
“At one time or another, almost every politician needs an honest man so badly that, like a ravenous wolf, he breaks into a sheep-fold: not to devour the ram he has stolen, however, but rather to conceal himself behind its wooly back.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Her voice is thin and her moan is high,
And her cackling laugh or her barking cold
Bring terror to the young and old.
O Molly, Molly, Molly Means
Lean is the ghost of Molly Means.”
—Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)
