My review:-
I enjoyed this book but think I would have enjoyed it more if it hadn't been so long. I have Kate's other books on my TBR and look forward to reading them.
From Waterstones:-
Edie Burchill and her mother have never been close, but when a long lost
letter arrives with the return address of Milderhurst Castle, Kent,
printed on its envelope, Edie begins to suspect that her mother's
emotional distance masks an old secret. Evacuated from London as a
thirteen year old girl, Edie's mother is chosen by the mysterious
Juniper Blythe, and taken to live at Millderhurst Castle with the Blythe
family. Fifty years later, Edie too is drawn to Milderhurst and the
eccentric Sisters Blythe. Old ladies now, the three still live together,
the twins nursing Juniper, whose abandonment by her fiance in 1941
plunged her into madness. Inside the decaying castle, Edie begins to
unravel her mother's past. But there are other secrets hidden in the
stones of Milderhurst Castle, and Edie is about to learn more than she
expected. The truth of what happened in the distant hours has been
waiting a long time for someone to find it...
