Description
When a mysterious letter arrives in the mail, Edie Burchill embarks on an unexpected journey to Milderhurst Castle, a crumbling estate where three reclusive sisters have lived for decades. There, she discovers a connection to her mother's wartime past—a secret that has been buried for fifty years since her mother was billeted at the castle as a young girl during World War II. As Edie uncovers the truth about the Blythe sisters and the tragedy that fractured their lives, she finds herself drawn into a haunting tale of love, loss, and the transformative power of storytelling. Kate Morton masterfully weaves together past and present, revealing how the echoes of one fateful moment in 1941 continue to shape the lives of those who lived through it. A richly atmospheric novel about family secrets, the bonds between sisters, and the enduring mysteries that time cannot erase.
