It starts with a letter, lost for half a century and unexpectedly
delivered to Edie’s mother on a Sunday afternoon. The letter leads Edie
to Milderhurst Castle, where the eccentric Blythe spinsters live and
where, she discovers, her mother was billeted during World War II. The
elder Blythe sisters are twins and have spent most of their lives caring
for their younger sister, Juniper, who hasn’t been the same since her
fiancé jilted her in 1941. Inside the decaying castle, Edie searches for
her mother’s past but soon learns there are other secrets hidden in its
walls. The truth of what happened in “the distant hours” has been
waiting a long time for someone to find it.
Den var väldigt trög i starten. Det tog väl 150 sidor innan jag kom in i boken, men sen var den väldigt bra och spännande.
