A dual timeline family mystery with a bit of paranormal vibes, the author has done amazing for her debut novel. This novel is all about tragedy, grief, family history and the drama that comes with it. Francine Thwaite, a loner, cut off from the world, lives in the company of ghosts from the past, finds herself with lodgers and her sister moving in her 500 year old manor. Her sister Madeleine comes by with a shocking revelation of their family history that Francine has no memory of. The book takes us through the sisters finding out about their heartbreaking family history as Francine recollects the repressed memories from her childhood. Shannon Morgan has exceptionally engages us readers through the timelines from the memories from the past and the present. Love how the sisters bonded as the book progressed, loved the ghosts from the past (love how Bree protects her sister). The story could be a little dragging in the beginning but the story caught on and the core story settings was quite clever. Loved how the author incorporated the language of flowers, was so beautiful reading about the flowers and the herbs. This would be perfect for someone who loves a mystery, family drama with paranormal settings.
