The Distant Hours by Kate Morton - Kate is an unhurried and detailed writer, I knew that going in, so one book at 22 hours was all I could manage this month. Edith stumbles upon a secret about her mom that takes her to a castle in Kent where even more secrets lie buried for over 50 years. I enjoyed exploring the very different personalities of three single sisters living in the shadow of their famous author father and unrequited love. Percy is stoic, formidable and can harbor a grudge like nobody's business. Saffy is sweet, nurturing and a bit naive. Juniper is lively, self-assured and idealistic. All five leading ladies, including Edith and Meredith (Edith's mother), are bound by duty and their secrets to Milderhurst Castle and each other. And they all have a relatable sense of longing - to be understood, to matter to someone, to feel loved.
I've already started The Dutch House (4 hrs into 10 hrs total) so feeling very accomplished. Tom Hanks is the narrator and I was really looking forward to hearing him - the jury is still out. Jury still out on the story as well ... not seeing where it's going but enjoying the journey.
