Summary

The Forgotten Tower is a mesmerising gothic mystery about a castle full of dark secrets and buried history, from Sunday Times top ten bestselling author Lulu Taylor.

Georgie is reluctant to move when her husband inherits Wakefield Castle, but he is determined to restore its fortunes. When exploring her new home she finds an old handwritten recipe book which leads her to suspect that the castle hides secrets as troubling as her own . . .

In 1939, as war is declared, the Wakefield family open the castle to shelter unusual guests. As the Wakefield children learn to cope with the loss of their missing parents and the presence of newcomers, the castle becomes a refuge and a keeper of secrets.

As Georgie’s fascination for the castle grows, it becomes a place for her own escape. But when unravelling the mysteries of its past, she realises that in order to be truly free, she must confront what she most dreads.

Total escapism

Great historical knowledge mixed with fantasy. A total escape from everyday life.
Well written with great descriptions. I could imagine myself there. Loved it.

A Wonderfully and enjoyably intriguing tale

I thoroughly enjoyed the way the two stories of past and present wound around each other set in an ancient castle.

Highly recommended

Frustrating

So frustrating. Who leaves poison around in a shared kitchen 🤦🏼‍♀️. I ploughed through it, but found it all a bit ridiculous. Not for me.
