'What an emotional journey, beautifully written and with an unforgettable setting . . . A stunning novel full of heart, hope and enduring love in all its forms. A heart-wrenching mystery to savour' AMANDA GEARD
A haunting mystery of a family's darkest secrets from the worldwide bestselling Australian author
In the aftermath of a tumultuous year, Fiona Winslow finds solace in the decaying grandeur of Wurimbirra, the rambling family estate. Intent on restoring it - despite her mother's objections - she discovers the keys to more than just the dilapidated country mansion. Beneath the crumbling plaster are secrets that have been buried for a generation.
When a book, The Midnight Estate, catches her attention, Fiona is plunged into a tale that mirrors her own life - a story of love, loss and betrayal. She dismisses the similarities as coincidence, but as she's drawn deeper into the story, the lines between fiction and reality blur, and Fiona must ask herself: how well does she know her family?
A gothic epic that spans generations, Kelly Rimmer weaves a tale as immersive as Kate Morton's Homecoming, inviting readers into the heart of a family's darkest secrets with an absorbing book-within-a-book mystery.
'Kelly Rimmer is at her most skillful here, beautifully capturing in exquisite detail an emotional, haunting tale that is sure to keep readers eagerly turning the page' JULIA KELLY
'A mesmerising read which had me glued to the pages from beginning to end. Absorbing, important, impactful, this will stay with me' LOUISE FEIN
