I got absolutely hooked on Kate Morton after I read House at Riverton. She is one of those writers that you can't wait to read her next book. I love the way she switches between the past and present, giving you insight into each event. The Distant Hours is no different, Edie is a young editor who stumbles upon Milderhurst Castle, once home of Raymond Blythe, the man who wrote the book that made her passionate about reading. Unbeknownst to her though, she has her own bit of history wrapped up in the decaying walls that is home to the curious Blythe sisters, Raymond's three daughters. Edie begins to unravel the truth behind the walls, opening secrets not only from her family's past, but the tragic stories from World War II that have kept the Blythe sisters from moving on.
It is slow to start, but the ending is something you would not want to miss! A great summer read
