"An enthralling story of secrets, sisters, and an unsolved mystery." —Kate Morton
An evocative novel in the vein of Kate Morton and Daphne Du Maurier, in which the thrill of first love clashes with the bonds of sisterhood, and all will be tested by the dark secret at the heart of Applecote Manor.

Four sisters. One summer. A lifetime of secrets.
 
When fifteen-year-old Margot and her three sisters arrive at Applecote Manor in June 1959, they expect a quiet English country summer. Instead, they find their aunt and uncle still reeling from the disappearance of their daughter, Audrey, five years before. As the sisters become divided by new tensions when two handsome neighbors drop by, Margot finds herself drawn into the life Audrey left behind. When the summer takes a deadly turn, the girls must unite behind an unthinkable choice or find themselves torn apart forever.
Fifty years later, Jesse is desperate to move her family out of their London home, where signs of her widower husband’s previous wife are around every corner. Gorgeous Applecote Manor, nestled in the English countryside, seems the perfect solution. But Jesse finds herself increasingly isolated in their new sprawling home, at odds with her fifteen-year-old stepdaughter, and haunted by the strange rumors that surround the manor.
Rich with the heat and angst of love both young and old, The Wildling Sisters is a gorgeous and breathtaking journey into the bonds that unite a family and the darkest secrets of the human heart.

      Narrator Clare Corbett portrays the Wilde sisters, whose cousin Audrey's disappearance hangs over their visit to their aunt and uncle's country manor in 1959. Corbett delineates each sister: ethereal Flora, obstreperous Pam, earnest Dot, and inhibited Margot, the sister who was closest to Audrey. Emilia Fox brings us forward in time; the manor is now home to Jessie and Will Tucker; their toddler, Romy; and Jessie's alienated stepdaughter, Bella. Insecure Jessie had hoped a move from London would shorten the shadow cast by Bella's late mother. Fox renders compelling scenes between Jessie, who vacillates between suspicion of and compassion for Bella, and Bella herself, who is antagonistic and vaguely threatening. Alternating between past and present, Corbett's and Fox's performances escalate the tensions in this story of characters haunted not by presences but by absences.
