Description
A letter, lost for half a century, arrives unexpectedly at the home of Edie’s mother on a Sunday afternoon. It bears the return address of Milderhurst Castle, Kent, and its appearance stirs a suspicion in Edie that her mother’s emotional distance masks an old secret. The letter draws Edie to the decaying castle, where the eccentric Blythe spinsters reside. There, she discovers her mother was billeted during World War II.
The elder Blythe sisters, twins, have devoted their lives to caring for their younger sister, Juniper, whose life was irrevocably altered when her fiancé jilted her in 1941. As Edie searches for clues to her mother’s past within the castle’s walls, she uncovers that other secrets lie hidden there, too. The truth of what transpired in “the distant hours” has long awaited discovery.
