Distant Hours

A long lost letter arrives in the post and Edie Burchill finds herself on a journey to Milderhurst Castle, a great but moldering old house, where the Blythe spinsters live and where her mother was billeted 50 years before as a 13 year old child during WWII. The elder Blythe sisters are twins and have spent most of their lives looking after the third and youngest sister, Juniper, who hasn’t been the same since her fiance jilted her in 1941.

Inside the decaying castle, Edie begins to unravel her mother’s past. But there are other secrets hidden in the stones of Milderhurst, and Edie is about to learn more than she expected. The truth of what happened in ‘the distant hours’ of the past has been waiting a long time for someone to find it.

Morton once again enthralls readers with an atmospheric story featuring unforgettable characters beset by love and circumstance and haunted by memory, that reminds us of the rich power of storytelling.

O scrisoare mult timp pierduta ajunge in posta si Edie Burchill se afla intr-o calatorie la castelul Milderhurst, o casa veche, grozava, dar mulata, unde locuiesc spinterii Blythe si unde mama ei a fost inscrisa cu 50 de ani inainte ca un copil de 13 ani in timpul celui de-al doilea razboi mondial. Surorile Blythe mai mari sunt gemeni si si-au petrecut cea mai mare parte a vietii ingrijindu-se de cea de-a treia si cea mai mica sora, Juniper, care nu a mai fost aceeasi de cand logodnicul ei a jilit-o in 1941.
