After a long-lost letter turns up in the mail, Edie Burchill sets out to see Milderhurst Castle, a magnificent but dilapidated mansion that is home to the Blythe spinsters and where her mother was interned fifty years before when she was thirteen years old during World War II. The younger Blythe sister, Juniper, hasn't been the same since her fiancé abandoned her in 1941, and the older Blythe sisters have dedicated the most of their life to caring for her.
Edie starts to piece together her mother's background within the dilapidated castle. However, there are more mysteries concealed behind Milderhurst's stones, and Edie is going to discover more than she bargained for. It has taken a long time for someone to discover the truth about what really transpired during "the distant hours" of the past.
Once again, Morton captivates us with a moody tale that reminds us of the deep power of narrative and features enduring characters troubled by circumstance and love.
