Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for this ARC! I'm a Kelly Rimmer fan, and wasn't sure to expect from this new novel! It is very different from her last several historical fictions, but the perfect cozy read for a long winter weekend. Fiona moves back into her childhood home, which is rumored to be haunted, filled with the misdeeds of the past, and much to her mother's dismay, is considering restoring parts of the old mansion. She stumbles upon a box of unread books, and from there, is drawn into both the story within, and her own confusion about the secrets her home and mother may be holding back from her. Rimmer's storytelling is compulsively readable per usual, and I found myself wanting to read one more chapter often. There is a beautiful, courageous story revealed by the end, and it explores the ideas of what think we may know (or not) about our parents, our pasts, and our identity.
