ABOUT THIS BOOK 1939. Madeleine, an orphaned young woman, fears that life at her beautiful family home Summerhill will change for ever when her adored sister Georgina returns from London with a handsome and charming fiancé. Maddie fears that the man Georgina loves is not all he seems. And even idyllic Cornwall is falling under the shadow of war... Today. Chloe is newly pregnant. This should be a joyful time, but she is fearful for the future despite her husband's devotion. When her work takes her to Summerhill, she's drawn into the mystery of what happened there decades before. And the past reaches out to touch her in ways that could change everything... MY REVIEW SUMMER OF SECRETS by Nikola Scott is an excellent dual timeline story that beautifully expresses each time period with characters that will capture your heart. In 1939, Maddie has cocooned herself in the safety of Summerhill's grounds ever since the death of her father but she is content and has all she needs. Delighted that her beloved and often wild sister, Georgina, is returning home, Maddie knows that together the threat and fear of war won't harm them. But Georgina does not return alone and Maddie has a foreboding feeling that her future brother-in-law is a dangerous man. In the present day, Chloe appears to have the perfect life and now with her pregnancy, everything should be complete. But looks can be deceiving and beneath it all Chloe struggles with a controlling husband and worries over her very ill brother. When she finds herself in Summerhill, she is drawn to the history and mystery of the place, and will soon find a connection that could change her future in many ways. Compelling, descriptive, and very emotional, SUMMER OF SECRETS by Nikola Scott is everything you want in a story that blends past and present together. There are plenty of surprises along the way and I never felt that the detail was too drawn out or unnecessary. I loved both of the main characters and their time periods, but I did enjoy Chloe's parts of the book that little bit more but I don't really know why as the entire narrative is expertly written and gripping at all times. SUMMER OF SECRETS by Nikola Scott is an exceptional book and I look forward to reading more from this wonderful author.
