I easily could have devoured this family’s tale within a day if I had had the time. There are some books by this author that have not been a ‘hit’ for me and some have been a ‘hit’ for me. This one was definitely a ‘hit’ for me. I thought it was a very good read.
We learn about Lenora and Virginia, sisters, and the
tragedies that fell upon their family all through their growing up years. We
learn about their secret attractions to Ricky, a young man who worked at their
estate when they were growing up.
We also meet Kit who was also down on her luck, as we fast
forward to 1983. We are introduced to her father, Patrick. We even meet Carter
who is another young man working as a gardener at the Hope’s End estate, which,
as it turns out, is a really good name for this estate.
I was intrigued at Kit’s instincts and how she was able to
piece everything together, even if she didn’t want to accept the truth of what
really happened all those many years ago.
I liked the fact that this was written in the past and in
the present, with one voice (POV) that I had entirely wrong. I enjoyed all the
twists and turns and the ‘are you kidding me’ moments. I really liked the fact
when the past and the present collided at the end, wrapping all the truths up
with a bow.
