Publisher's summary

England, 1959: Laurel Nicolson is 16 years old, dreaming alone in her childhood tree house during a family celebration at their home, Green Acres Farm. She spies a stranger coming up the long road to the farm and then observes her mother, Dorothy, speaking to him. And then she witnesses a crime.

Fifty years later, Laurel is a successful and well-regarded actress, living in London. She returns to Green Acres for Dorothy’s 90th birthday and finds herself overwhelmed by memories and questions she has not thought about for decades. She decides to find out the truth about the events of that summer day and lay to rest her own feelings of guilt. One photograph, of her mother and a woman Laurel has never met, called Vivian, is her first clue.

The Secret Keeper explores longings and dreams, the lengths some people go to fulfill them, and the strange consequences they sometimes have. It is a story of lovers, friends, dreamers and schemers, play-acting, and deception told against a backdrop of events that changed the world.

Wonderful!

This story was wonderfully written and narrated. The story had exciting twists and turns and a terrific ending. As soon as I finished I wanted to start it over again and listen from the beginning. Don’t be intimidated by the length of the story. It is worth it and truly doesn’t seem that long. Can’t say enough about this book. Look forward to listening to other Kate Morton stories.

Twists and turns

Stay with this one. I almost gave up on it as it jumped around and I became impatient. So glad I didn’t stop listening. This novel makes you think. Loved the narrator.

Every second had be intrigued.

This book had me interested in all the characters and timelines. Sometimes this style of writing has me favoring one timeline or characters over the other. Not this book. The transition between characters storylines was perfection.
