Wonderfully unwoven tapestry of a tale. Flavored with plot twists, generational trauma, and a mystery left unsolved until the very end, The Daughters of Foxcote Manor is impossible to put down.

Featuring three different female protagonists, all somehow the victim in their own story, never willingly changing or growing as people despite decades passing.

Nice descriptions of the forest and trees.

An enjoyable bit of escapism, this book keeps you on your toes by using three different points of view to tell the story. A slow burner to start with, the latter half of the book was my favourite. Lots of twists and turns, I was constantly eager to find out more.
