Black Rabbit Hall

At Black Rabbit Hall nothing much ever happens - time seems to move slower at this idyllic holiday home in Cornwall. Until the worst thing happens and for the Alton children time feels like it\'s stopped altogether. Decades later, Lorna Smith is searching for her perfect wedding venue and is inexplicably drawn to the now crumbling house, unaware that her own history is locked up in those walls.

Klappentext:

One golden family. One fateful summer. Four lives changed for ever.

Amber Alton knows that the hours pass differently at Black Rabbit Hall, her London family\'s country estate where no two clocks read the same. Summers there are perfect, timeless. Not much ever happens. Until, one stormy evening, it does.

The idyllic world of the four Alton children is shattered. Fiercely bonded by the tragic events, they grow up fast. But when a glamorous stranger arrives, these loyalties are tested. Forbidden passions simmer. And another catastrophe looms . . .

Decades later, Lorna and her fiancé wind their way through the countryside searching for a wedding venue. Lorna is drawn to a beautiful crumbling old house she hazily remembers from her childhood, feels a bond she does not understand. When she finds a disturbing message carved into an old oak tree by one of the Alton children, she begins to realise that Black Rabbit Hall\'s secret history is as dark and tangled as its woods, and that, much like her own past, it must be brought into the light.

A thrilling spiral into the hearts of two women separated by decades but inescapably linked by Black Rabbit Hall. A story of forgotten childhood and broken dreams, secrets and heartache, and the strength of a family\'s love.
