- Breve biografia
- KATE MORTON grew up in the mountains of south-east Queensland and lives now with her husband and three young sons in Brisbane. She has degrees in dramatic art and English literature, specialising in nineteenth-century tragedy and contemporary gothic novels. Kate harboured dreams of joining the Royal Shakespeare Company until she became sidetracked writing novels, and still feels a pang of longing each time she goes to the theatre and the house lights dim.
Kate used to hide to read when she was small, and still believes that reading should be so pleasurable it feels almost illicit. Her favourite novels are the sort that you can disappear inside, and the thing she most likes hearing from readers is that they stayed up far too late turning pages.
Kate Morton has sold over 10 million copies in 26 languages, across 42 countries. The House at Riverton, The Forgotten Garden, The Distant Hours, The Secret Keeper and The Lake House have all been number one bestsellers around the world.

Libro ricco di tanti avvenimenti, di salti temporali, che all'inizio mi hanno un pochino frastornata, ma poi ci si riesce a districare.
Mi è stato molto di aiuto trascrivere su un foglio a parte l'albero genealogico della famiglia, per capire i vari legami di parentela..
Per il resto la Morton è bravissima a descrivere i luoghi e anche gli stati d'animo dei vari personaggi..
Libro consigliatissimo per una lettura estiva… (altro)
