The Distant Hours by Kate Morton, author of the bestselling The
House of Riverton, is a heartbreaking story of love and loss with a
devastating secret at its heart. Edie Burchill and her mother have
never been close but, when a long-lost letter arrives with the
return address of Milderhurst Castle, Kent, 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 was chosen
by the mysterious Juniper Blythe, and taken to live at Milderhurst
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 as the twins nurse 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 to be uncovered . . .
