"All Hallows' Eve", by Charles Williams, published by Faber and Faber, London, 1945. First printing with "First published in Mcmxlv" without any other printings listed and the war-time paper regulations imprint.
Lester is waiting on a bridge to meet her newly married husband, Richard. She is angry because he has kept her waiting. Gradually she realizes that she is dead, killed by a falling airplane. Killed in the same accident is her friend Evelyn. Together they roam London...
Charles Williams had a genius for choosing strange and exciting themes for his novels and making them believable and profoundly suggestive of spiritual truths. "All Hallows' Eve" is the story of a man and woman whose love was so great it could bridge the gap of death; of evil so terrible as to be unmentionable, of a vision so beautiful it must be true.
