About this ebook
When she returns to the house she inherited from her grandmother Agnes, she expects dust, old photographs, and the quiet weight of a family history she has spent years avoiding.
Instead, she finds letters.
Hidden photographs. A locked box. A stopped clock. And fragments of a past that refuse to stay buried.
As she begins following the trail Agnes deliberately left behind, long-held assumptions about her mother, her family, and her own childhood begin to unravel. The deeper she searches, the more she realizes that memory is not always a record of what happened. Sometimes, it is simply what we were able to survive.
Set against the quiet landscape of an English town, The Unkept Hour is an atmospheric psychological mystery about family secrets, grief, memory, love, and the stories we tell ourselves when the truth is too painful to hold.
What really happened in the past? And how much of what she remembers can she trust?
Some truths arrive as revelations.
Others arrive one letter at a time.
