The Clockmaker`s Daughter
Tak seorang pun mengingat namaku. Tak seorang pun tahu apa yang sesungguhnya terjadi pada musim panas itu. Pada musim panas tahun 1862, sekelompok seniman muda yang dipimpin oleh Edward Radcliffe yang berbakat dan penuh semangat tiba di Birchwood Manor, rumah indah di tepi Sungai Thames. Rencana mereka: Menghabiskan satu bulan musim panas di tempat terpencil dalam suasana penuh inspirasi dan kreativitas. Namun pada akhir liburan mereka, seorang wanita mati tertembak sedangkan seorang wanita lain menghilang, warisan berharga raib, dan kehidupan Edward Radcliffe hancur. Setelah 150 tahun berlalu, Elodie Winslow, pengarsip muda dari London, menemukan sebuah tas selempang dari kulit yang berisi dua barang yang tampaknya tidak berhubungan: Foto usang seorang wanita menawan berpakaian gaun era Victoria dan buku sketsa berisi gambar rumah beratap pelana kembar di tepi sungai bernama Birchwood Manor. Mengapa rumah itu terasa akrab bagi Elodie? Lalu, siapakah wanita cantik dalam foto itu? Akankah dia mengungkapkan rahasia-rahasianya?
The Distant Hours
The Distant Hours by Kate Morton, author of the bestselling The House of Riverton, is a heartbreaking story of love and loss with a devastating secret at its heart. Edie Burchill and her mother have never been close but, when a long-lost letter arrives with the return address of Milderhurst Castle, Kent, Edie begins to suspect that her mother’s emotional distance masks an old secret. Evacuated from London as a thirteen-year-old girl, Edie’s mother was chosen by the mysterious Juniper Blythe and taken to live at Milderhurst Castle with the Blythe family. Fifty years later, Edie, too, is drawn to Milderhurst and the eccentric Sisters Blythe. Old ladies now, the three still live together as the twins nurse Juniper, whose abandonment by her fiancé in 1941 plunged her into madness. Inside the decaying castle, Edie begins to unravel her mother’s past. But there are other secrets hidden in the stones of Milderhurst Castle, and Edie is about to learn more than she expected. The truth of what happened in the distant hours has been waiting a long time to be uncovered . . .
