A faded photograph. An abandoned house. A wartime secret . . .

From the author of the Richard and Judy Book Club pick The Midnight House, a mesmerising story of love, war, and a mystery that ensnares three generations, sweeping the reader from London to Tasmania and to Ireland. Perfect for fans of Kate Morton, Lucinda Riley and Eve Chase.

1939: On the eve of war, young English heiress Grace Grey travels from London to the wilderness of Tasmania. Coaxed out of her shell by the attentions of her Irish neighbour, Daniel - Grace finally learns to live. But when Australian forces are called to the frontline, and Daniel with them, he leaves behind a devastating secret which will forever bind them together.

1975: Artist Willow Hawkins, and her new husband, Ben, can't believe their luck when an anonymous benefactor leaves them a house on the remote Tasmanian coast. Confused and delighted, they set out to unmask Towerhurst's previous owner - unwittingly altering the course of their lives.

2004: Libby Andrews has always been sheltered from the truth behind her father Ben's death. When she travels to London and discovers a faded photograph, a long-buried memory is unlocked, and she begins to follow an investigation that Ben could never complete. But will she realise that some secrets are best left buried . . .?

Amanda Geard’s novel is compelling from start to finish. It is rich with intriguing characters who are developed in ways that make you want to know and their story. While I have visited Kerry many times, I had no knowledge of Tasmania and Australia’s role in WW 2. I wish it wasn’t so far away as after reading this I would love to visit… from Amanda’s description,it truly is the land down under. I have not read her first novel but will do so now. The narrator’s voice is lovely and enriches the tale.

A family saga rich with intriguing characters set in Tasmania and Ireland.

A story you can’t put down, woven expertly by the author. I felt like I knew the characters well. Would make a great movie!

Good mystery

Lots to like. Character development, story lines, etc. Time line is a bit complex and hard to follow.

Good story but complicated and requires the reader’s attention.
