Historical fiction about a century-old mystery set in a Scottish castle. Is there a novel more suited to me than this? No, I don't think so. And what a delight this one was from start to end. I enjoyed this story with its family secrets and skeletons rattling around in the closets because it was beautifully written and pitched well to both eras of its location (or buried on the grounds, as they were).

Beautifully worded and pitch perfect for both of you. The examination of the mother-daughter-in-law connection piqued my interest. The use of multiple character perspectives allowed for a more engrossing story in which we could see the internal struggles of both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, giving us a unique insight into where communications between each were breaking down, despite best intentions from both parties. It gave me a lot to think about as I approach the day when all of my children will be adults.
i absolutely loveeeeee it!
