Black Rabbit Hall by Eve Chase
4.0

This is the story of two different women, Amber in the late 1960s and Lorna in the present day. Amber spends her idyllic holidays in Cornwall at Black Rabbit Hall with her three siblings and her parents. That is, until tragedy strikes, and her life is turned upside down. Lorna and her fiance are looking for a wedding venue when they visit Black Rabbit Hall. Lorna feels a strong connection with the place, but doesn't quite know why. What she eventually discovers will change everything she thought she knew about her past. The story alternates between Amber's and Lora's perspectives and time periods until the end when we find out how they are connected.

I loved Carlos Ruiz Zafón's "The Shadow of the Wind" and Diane Setterfield's "The Thirteenth Tale", and I love Kate Morton's books. I'm always on the lookout for similar books and I read "Black Rabbit Hall" hoping it would fit the bill. It did in many ways, although I felt like the suspense and drama that are present in the books I just mentioned weren't quite the same in this book. That said, this was still an excellent read and I had trouble putting it down.
