Shortlisted for the 2020 Baillie Gifford Prize * New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice“Prepare not to see much broad daylight, literal or metaphorical, for days if you read this.... The atmosphere evoked is something I will never forget.”—The Times (London) London, 1938. In the suburbs of the city, a young housewife has become the eye in a storm of chaos. In Alma Fielding’s modest home, china flies off the shelves and eggs fly through the air; stolen jewelry appears on her fingers, white mice crawl out of her handbag, beetles appear from under her gloves; in the middle of a car journey, a turtle materializes on her lap. The culprit is incorporeal. As Alma cannot call the police, she calls the papers instead. After the sensational story headlines the news, Nandor Fodor, a Hungarian ghost hunter for the International Institute for Psychical Research, arrives to investigate the poltergeist. But when he embarks on his scrupulous investigation, he discovers that the case is even stranger than it seems.By unravelling Alma’s peculiar history, Fodor finds a different and darker type of haunting, a tale of trauma, alienation, loss and revenge. He comes to believe that Alma’s past has bled into her present, her mind into her body. There are no words for processing her experience, so it comes to possess her. As the threat of a world war looms, and as Fodor’s obsession with the case deepens, Alma becomes ever more disturbed. With characteristic rigor and insight, Kate Summerscale brilliantly captures the rich atmosphere of a haunting that transforms into a very modern battle between the supernatural and the subconscious.

I thoroughly enjoyed Kate Summerscale's earlier books The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher and The Wicked Boy, so when I saw The Haunting of Alma Fielding had been published I was eager to read it. Unfortunately, I can't say it measures up to Summerscale's other books.Alma Fielding was a nondescript middle class housewife in a London suburb in the late 1930s. She had had a series of illnesses which led to a mastectomy as well as other surgeries, her marriage was unhappy, and her life was rather dull. Then she began suffering from poltergeist attacks that led to a lot of smashed crockery, odd visitations from apparent spirits, and much notoriety. Nandor Fodor, a Hungarian emigre fascinated by the occult, began to investigate. This book is based on the notes Fodor and other witnesses took and testified about in a lengthy file uncovered by Summerscale.Much of this book is a summarization of the events documented in that file. Overall it makes for tedious reading. Alma Fielding was a troubled woman, to be sure, but I couldn't summon up much sympathy for her because it was clear that she was the one behind all the crockery breaking and spirit visitations. In other words, she was a con artist and a liar. Fodor seems to have been unusually gullible, as were most of the other investigators who worked with him on the case.Summerscale focuses on the psychological studies by Freud and others who blamed spiritualist manifestations like those of Alma Fielding on early traumas and emotional losses. Alma Fielding had more than her share of those. Summerscale also does a fairly good job of relating the poltergeist frenzy of the late 1930s to the darkening world climate. As World War II loomed, the number of people experiencing supernatural troubles increased, understandably so.
