Publisher's summary

From the author of the New York Times bestselling novels THE POSTMISTRESS and THE GUEST BOOK comes Sarah Blake's GRANGE HOUSE.

"Pleasing, intricate...[a] delightful book" —New York Times Book Review

Maisie Thomas spends every summer at Grange House, a hotel on the coast of Maine ruled by the elegant Miss Grange. In 1896, when Maisie turns 17, her visit marks a turning point. On the morning after her arrival, local fishermen make a gruesome discovery: drowned lovers, found clasped in each other's arms. It's only the first in a series of events that casts a shadow over Maisie's summer. As she considers the attentions of two very different young men, Maisie also falls under the gaze of Miss Grange, who begins to tell her disturbing stories of her past.

Rich with the details, customs, and language of the era, Sarah Blake's Grange House is a wonderfully atmospheric, page-turning novel of literary suspense and romance.

“Pulses with mystery, ghostly melancholy and young passion...Captivating.” —Boston Herald

Dry

This book did not hold my attention. I am an avid Audible “reader” and found it difficult to get through. Predictable and disappointing conclusion.

Disappointed— way too long

Unsure what her goal was. Very tedious and often uninteresting for long periods. Expected better character development. This was more a sappy soap opera than a good novel.

Boring!

I really tried to like this, but quit on Chapter 5. Where is this story going? Nowhere apparently … I cannot recommend it!
