The Secret Keeper------pan macmillan
The spellbinding new novel from the international best-selling author of The House at Riverton, The Forgotten Garden and The Distant Hours
1961:
On a sweltering summer's day, while her family picnics by the stream on
their Suffolk farm, sixteen-year-old Laurel hides out in her childhood
tree house dreaming of a boy called Billy, a move to London, and the
bright future she can't wait to seize. But before the idyllic afternoon
is over, Laurel will have witnessed a shocking crime that changes
everything.
2011: Now a much-loved actress, Laurel finds herself
overwhelmed by shades of the past. Haunted by memories, and the mystery
of what she saw that day, she returns to her family home and begins to
piece together a secret history. A tale of three strangers from vastly
different worlds - Dorothy, Vivien and Jimmy - who are brought together
by chance in wartime London and whose lives become fiercely and
fatefully entwined.
Shifting between the 1930s, the 1960s and the present, The Secret Keeper is a spellbinding story of mysteries and secrets, murder and enduring love.
