The literary twist of Patti Callahan Henry's The Secret Book of Flora Lea meets the family secrets of Kate Morton’s Homecoming when a woman discovers a curious novel in the library of her crumbling gothic estate, whose uncomfortably familiar story ultimately brings a generations-old mystery to light.
In the aftermath of a tumultuous year, Fiona Winslow finds solace in the decaying grandeur of Wurimbirra, the rambling family estate she once called home. Intent on restoring it, she discovers the keys to more than just the dilapidated mansion—beneath the crumbling plaster and dust are secrets that have been buried for a generation…
When a curious book, The Midnight Estate, catches her attention in her late uncle’s library, the lines between fiction and reality blur, Fiona must ask herself: Is the true mystery the one hidden within the walls of her ancestral home, or is it within the pages of a book that chose her as much as she chose it?
Set against the Gothic backdrop of the estate, Kelly Rimmer, bestselling author of The Things We Cannot Say, weaves an intricate and compelling tale, inviting readers into the heart of a family’s deepest secrets with an absorbing book-within-a-book mystery.
Kelly is traveling to us for the very first time, all the way from Australia! She is making a very special trip, just to visit our readers.
