The time: summer 1961. The place: an idyllic farmhouse in the English countryside. The problem: sixteen-year-old Laurel Nicolson witnesses her mother kill a man, apparently in self-defense. But, Paul Harvey, what is the REST of the story? This is what Laurel attempts to discover 50 years later as her mother lays dying in a London hospital. What follows is a journey through the years and memories long buried, jumping effortlessly from pre-war England and Australia to the Blitz and present-day London. Laurel has very few clues and little time until her mother's secrets are buried with her, but she is determined to solve the mystery before it's too late.
It's no secret that Kate Morton is a terrific writer, unless you have not read any of her books. Well, what are you waiting for? Get started!! TBC
