One of my all-time favourite books - it has everything I love in books, plus some really extraordinary day fairytales. An absolute must-read
Kate Morton came onto my radar one day when I asked someone for a recommendation and they recommended her The Secrete Keeper. I was immediately dismissive because- well - the cover! It's pink!
