The Distant Hours

Kate Morton

Cover image, The distant hoursA letter delivered in 1992 – 50 years late – provokes such an emotional response in Edie’s normally-repressed mother, that Edie becomes determined to find out why. Her search leads her to a crumbling castle in the English countryside where she finds three elderly sisters and becomes entangled in their tragic family mysteries.
Set in both 1992 and wartime England, this is an intriguing story of madness, lost love, forbidden love, family duty, and a literary mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and got completely drawn in to the mysterious world of the Blythe family. Readers who enjoy historical and family dramas with a bit of mystery thrown in should enjoy this.

(We also have this book on CD in our Adult's Spoken word collection)
