I can't remember the name of it....

but I believe it was published last year (2006) and is about a city of ghosts. In the story, as long as someone in the living world remembers you, you may continue as a ghost. As soon as the last living person who has a memory of you dies, then you die as a ghost.

If anyone can remember the name of this book I would appreciate a reply.


Thanks!
 
I've read a book similar to this, but it was written in the 70's by Peter Beagle: A Fine and Private Place. It's set in a graveyard. A tramp lives there with a talking raven. The guy cannot leave the graveyard, and the bird pinches food to keep him alive. The ghosts of two young adults: a guy and a woman, get to know each other. Death is a process of forgetting and being forgotten.

It's a great book, very unusual.
