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.

3.0

This was a nice easy read, it kept me entertained however I did find it really predictable. I would still recommend it but I won’t be shouting about it

I do love the theme of grief throughout the book and wish that was explored even more as that was the fuel that drove most characters
