Women's Fiction
From the New York Times and internationally bestselling
author of The Distant Hours, The Forgotten Garden, and The
House at Riverton, a spellbinding new novel filled with
mystery, thievery, murder, and enduring love. During a summer party at the family farm in the English
countryside, sixteen-year-old Laurel Nicolson has escaped to
her childhood tree house and is happily dreaming of the
future. She spies a stranger coming up the long road to the
farm and watches as her mother speaks to him. Before the
afternoon is over, Laurel will witness a shocking crime. A
crime that challenges everything she knows about her family
and especially her mother, Dorothy—her vivacious, loving,
nearly perfect mother. Now, fifty years later, Laurel is a successful and
well-regarded actress living in London. The family is
gathering at Greenacres farm for Dorothy’s ninetieth
birthday. Realizing that this may be her last chance, Laurel
searches for answers to the questions that still haunt her
from that long-ago day, answers that can only be found in
Dorothy’s past. Dorothy’s story takes the reader from pre–WWII England
through the blitz, to the ’60s and beyond. It is the secret
history of three strangers from vastly different
worlds—Dorothy, Vivien, and Jimmy—who meet by chance in
wartime London and whose lives are forever entwined. The
Secret Keeper explores longings and dreams and the
unexpected consequences they sometimes bring. It is an
unforgettable story of lovers and friends, deception and
passion that is told—in Morton’s signature style—against a
backdrop of events that changed the world.
