Following the deaths of her last living relatives, Hetty Deveraux returns to her ancestral home, a crumbling estate in Scotland's Outer Hebrides, with the intention of renovating and reselling it as a hotel. As she dives headfirst into the repairs, she discovers human remains beneath a rotting floorboard in the basement. Hungry for answers, Hetty sets out to unravel the estate's secret - and the secrets of its former inhabitants, including Beatrice Blake, a woman who moved there a century ago with her husband Theo, a famous painter. Following whispered rumors and a handful of leads, Hetty soon discovers that no one knows exactly what happened to Beatrice, only that her actions have reverberated throughout history, affecting Hetty's present in startling ways.

What a beautiful story!

I love the way the book flips back between the early 1900s in 2010. The duel stories of Beatrice and Hetty weave together to create a lovely storyline. The combination of Beatrice's tragic tale and Hetty's struggle to do what is right in her heart create an enthralling story that I couldn't leave.

Cannot Get Past the Narrator

I found the narrator's style too distracting to actually be able to pay attention to the story.. The lift at the end of each sentence was really irritating, unfortunately. As a result, I cannot comment on the story itself. I've given it three stars for story because Audible requires a rating in order to leave a review.

I'm returning this book. I'll get the Kindle version.

Enjoyed the story and the narration.

I enjoyed the story and the narration. I was however, challenged to concentrate on the story so I didn’t loose the tread.

Couldn't finish....hard to follow.https://www.arl

Started out slow and hard to follow and never seemed to get my attention or interest.

much better than expected- lovely love story

I would recommend this as a physical book for a 1st read. Something a out physical books make it easier to keep track of characters. the multitude of characters in past and present had me very confused on the story line. Added that you feel dropped into a story well on its way as soon as the book starts off further confused things. I had to do a bit of rewinding to get the story line figured out. that would have been enough to put me off this book, but I found the characters so well developed I didn't mind the confusion and having to "re-ead" a bit. The ending was a bit predictable but I found I still loved the overall journey and felt satisfied by the ending
