As I read this book I kept wondering what was the point. This was a book filled with layers that needed to be peeled away just as the secrets were revealed, on layer at a time. This is a story of Jess who's grandmother has left her an inheritance what she thinks is the family's summer cottage but could be far more valuable. This is also the story of Margaret a woman who has kept other people's secrets for so long. Margaret is from a different era where it important to masquerade those things that all families want to remain hidden. The problem with bidding secrets is that you are locked in to a certain course of action and ultimately they lock Jess into what seems like an unavoidable path. I felt this book read like one of those old fashioned stories from Margaret's era.
