Speaking of Margot Livesey....
Eva is a Scottish girl raised by her father and an aunt after her mother dies hours after Eva's birth. Eva has an interesting life, including working as a nurse in Glasgow during WWII. The most interesting part of her life is the appearance of her "companions" at a young age. No one else can see them and they are not always nice to her. She spends most of her life wondering who they are and why they visit her. Mostly, she wonders if they have an agenda separate from what Eva wants. I really liked this book for its setting, period in history, and treatment of supernatural occurrances. It is mysterious, but not creepy or overspiritualized.
