At the heart of the novel is the enigmatic figure of Sarah, a young woman whose life is forever changed by a tragic accident. As she struggles to come to terms with her loss, Sarah finds herself drawn into a strange and unsettling world where the boundaries between reality and memory blur.

Through Sarah's journey, Craft explores the multifaceted nature of grief. There is the raw pain of loss, the overwhelming sense of emptiness, and the desperate longing to reconnect with what has been taken away. But there is also the transformative power of love, its ability to heal wounds and offer solace in the darkest of times.

As Sarah navigates her grief, she encounters a cast of characters who each represent a different aspect of the human experience. There is the enigmatic Dr. Julian, a psychiatrist who offers Sarah both professional guidance and a tantalizing glimpse into the mysteries of the subconscious mind. There is also the enigmatic artist, Matthew, whose paintings seem to possess a strange and otherworldly quality. And there is the enigmatic old woman, Mrs. Hawthorne, who claims to have a connection to Sarah's past.

Through these characters, Craft explores the ways in which we cope with loss and the different ways in which we find meaning in our lives. He also explores the nature of reality, the possibility of reincarnation, and the existence of a world beyond our physical senses.

Strangely Beloved is a haunting and atmospheric novel that lingers in the mind long after the last page has been turned. Craft's evocative prose and complex characters create a truly immersive experience, drawing the reader into Sarah's journey and allowing them to experience her grief, her hopes, and her fears.

Ultimately, Strangely Beloved is a novel about the human condition, about the ways in which we love, lose, and find meaning in our lives. It is a powerful and moving exploration of the human experience, and a must-read for anyone who has ever experienced the pain of loss.
