Secrets lurk in the shadows at Rookswood House... When Kate goes to look after her estranged sister’s children in their creepy old house, she takes a photo of what seems to be a ghost. Frightened yet intrigued, Kate undertakes to uncover the secrets of the house and the two mysterious sisters who lived there over a hundred years before.
A ghost story would not usually be my first choice, but something about The House of Light and Shadows, by Lauren Westwood drew me in, much as the main character, Kate, is drawn to the mysterious Rookswood House.
This book is a real ‘page turner’ that will keep readers guessing to the end. I particularly liked the parallels between the present day sisters and the historical sisters of the past.
The well-developed characters, and some intriguing research into the history of early photography make this a compelling story. I will definitely be adding Lauren Westwood’s other books to my reading list.
