many years ago I read a book about an entity that moved into different objects, even people. In the beginning the entity moved into a tree and a person thought it was a magical tree as it spoke to them. Then it moved on into a person, and so on throughout the book. It was a very long time ago I read this novel and so the details are very sketchy. If anyone can help me find this book title again I would very much appreciate it. Thanks.

1Can you remember anything else about this book? For example, when did you read it? Can you recall any plot details?– AdamantOct 17, 2016 at 2:59

Was it a horror? Something designed for teenagers/kids?– YasskierOct 17, 2016 at 3:41

This sounds like it could be Ghostwritten, by David Mitchell. It's a series of short stories that are at first apparently unconnected but as they progress it is revealed that there is a non-corporeal entity passing from host to host through the characters in each tale and influencing events. In one story this "spirit" leads a woman to believe that a tree by her home is speaking to her (but it is actually the spirit, who is using her as a host).

Nathan, thank you so very much for taking the time to answer his for me. It was so long ago I remember very little of the story now. I think this may be the book. Thanks again!– ZeillaOct 19, 2016 at 6:43
