About this listen
A compelling tale of two women separated by a century who discover long-buried secrets in an Australian manor house.
In 1891, Tilly Kirkland is reeling with shock and guilt after her tempestuous marriage ends in horrific circumstances. Fleeing to the farthest place she knows, Tilly takes a job on Ember Island in Moreton Bay, Australia, where she becomes the governess to the prison superintendent's precocious young daughter, Nell. Tilly knows she must keep the past hidden in order to start a new life, but she doesn't know that Nell is watching her every move and writing it all down, hiding tiny journals all over their rambling manor home.
More than 100 years later, best-selling novelist Nina Jones is struggling to complete her next book. A reporter asking questions about her great-grandmother sends Nina retreating to her family's home on Ember Island, where she hopes to find her lost inspiration somewhere in the crumbling walls. Though they are separated by years, both Tilly and Nina must learn that some secrets never stay buried, but what matters most is learning to trust your heart.

Captivating
What a wonderfully narrated story. The conclusion left me wanting more. It would be amazing to have a sequel to this thoroughly enjoyable book.

Engaging!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book - Kimberly's writing is so visual and visceral that it so easy to imagine the characters and place, and connect with them. I very much enjoyed the narration, brought with warmth with a great diversity of voices.
