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.

Erm wow I loved this! Just so good, I loved the characters, the mystery, and they way it all came together in the end was just brilliant. It seems I just really like reading about unstable mothers and their tragic families
