Book Review: The Storyteller's Daughter, by Victoria Scott

Available from Amazon UK and Amazon US

A secret buried for decades… A story that

 will change everything.

Victoria Scott’s dual-timeline narrative weaves together the past and present as Beth seeks solace in her family's dilapidated manor house.

After a disastrous career and marital setback, Beth is drawn into a gradually unravelling mystery surrounding her great-aunt Nita, a young woman living in the same house during World War II.

I liked the contrast between the world of the 1940’s newspaper office and what it became in 2008, and how the two women respond to very different challenges.

Beth delves into Nita's past through old newspaper articles and personal belongings, she uncovers a web of secrets, lies, and danger. The historical backdrop of WWII adds a depth and intrigue, with sometimes disturbing details of the era.

The plot twists are engaging as we explore of family secrets and their impact on generations. The Storyteller's Daughter is a poignant reminder that the past is never truly buried and how the choices we make can have far-reaching consequences.
