Outside a remote manor house in an idyllic wood, a baby girl is found
The Harrington family takes her in and disbelief quickly turns to joy. They're grieving a terrible tragedy of their own and the beautiful baby fills them with hope, lighting up the house's dark, dusty corners. Desperate not to lose her to the authorities, they keep her secret, suspended in a blissful summer world where normal rules of behavior - and the law - don't seem to apply.
But within days a body will lie dead in the grounds. And their dreams of a perfect family will shatter like glass. Years later, the truth will need to be put back together again, piece by piece . . .
From the author of Black Rabbit Hall, The Daughters of Foxcote Manor is an emotional, thrilling book about family secrets and belonging - and how we find ourselves when we are most lost.
This is an emotional book about family secrets. The characters are unique and the plot is one that kept the pages turning until the very end. There are multiple POV's that go from past to present. It is a well-written story and worth the time to read it. The setting provided a mysterious and spooky element to the story. If you love mystery then you will enjoy it. I'm looking forward to another book by Eve Chase.
