About this listen

People disappear. Secrets remain....

My Dearest T, Whatever you hear, do not believe it for a moment....

1940: In south-west Ireland, the young and beautiful Lady Charlotte Rathmore is pronounced dead after she mysteriously disappears by the lake of Blackwater Hall. In London, on the brink of the Blitz, Nancy Rathmore is grieving Charlotte's death when a letter arrives containing a secret that she is sworn to keep—one that will change her life forever.

2019: Decades later, Ellie Fitzgerald is forced to leave Dublin disgraced and heartbroken. Abandoning journalism, she returns to rural Kerry to weather out the storm. But, when she discovers a faded letter, tucked inside the pages of an old book, she finds herself drawn in by a long-buried secret. And as Ellie begins to unravel the mystery, it becomes clear that the letter might hold the key to more than just Charlotte's disappearance.

An unforgettable and spellbinding story of secrets, war, love and sacrifice, perfect for listeners of Kate Morton, Eve Chase and Louise Douglas.

Enjoyable. Not groundbreaking but literary and enjoyable. Intergenerational, historical, feminist. Wonderful for a plane journey.

Intergenerational storytelling. Historical. Feminist.

Beautifully written, loved the Narrator's voice...found some of the Irish accents a little overdone! I've recommended this book to friends

An Irish narrator would have been better. It was really hard to take the story seriously when I kept cringing at her accent and mispronounciation. For example Gardaí (Irish Police) is pronounced " Gard ee" not " Gard eye". Advice on accent would have helped.
Other than that the story was enjoyable and beautifully written.

Painful Irish accent.
