Tragic discoveries and secrets in Norfolk's woods.

A Place of Secrets by Rachel Hore could be a good read for those who enjoy mystery and historical fiction. The novel is a beautifully written and a magical tale about love, loss, and family secrets set in the untamed beauty of Norfolk. The book takes the reader on a journey through time, as it uncovers the tragic story of an 18th-century astronomer, while also exploring the present-day, as a nightmarish dream of a six-year-old girl connects to a crumbling tower in the woods. Rachel Hore's A Place of Secrets is a richly emotional and suspenseful novel that will have the reader turning the pages until the very end.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Dare she leave behind the sadness in her own life and learn to love again?
