Plot summary

Peter Rokeby loses his job as advertising copywriter, and resolves to become a freelance writer. Owing to this change in circumstances, he and his wife Sally move with their children Tammy and David into a more modest home in Meadow Road, Willesden. The family soon finds that the ghost of a previous owner, Yetta Feldman, still occupies the residence, and has been scaring occupants away for years. Yetta is a stereotypical interfering, middle-aged Jewish mother, who died suddenly after choking on a chicken bone. While Sally can both see and speak to their ghost, Peter, much to his frustration, initially cannot. The family agrees to help Yetta find her grown-up daughter Carole ("Carol-with-an-E").
