KATE MORTON grew up in the mountains of south-east Queensland and lives now with her husband and three young sons in Brisbane. She has degrees in dramatic art and English literature, specialising in nineteenth-century tragedy and contemporary gothic novels. Kate harboured dreams of joining the Royal Shakespeare Company until she became sidetracked writing novels, and still feels a pang of longing each time she goes to the theatre and the house lights dim.
Kate used to hide to read when she was small, and still believes that reading should be so pleasurable it feels almost illicit. Her favourite novels are the sort that you can disappear inside, and the thing she most likes hearing from readers is that they stayed up far too late turning pages.
Kate Morton has sold over 10 million copies in 26 languages, across 38 countries. The House at Riverton, The Forgotten Garden, The Distant Hours and The Secret Keeper have all been number one bestsellers around the world, and Kate's fifth novel, The Lake House, will be published in October 2015.

During a party at the family farm in the English countryside, sixteen-year-old Laurel Nicolson has escaped to her childhood tree house and is dreaming of the future. She spies a stranger coming up the road and sees her mother speak to him. Before the afternoon is over, Laurel will witness a shocking crime that challenges everything she knows about her family and especially her mother, Dorothy.
Now, fifty years later, Laurel is a successful and well-regarded actress, living in London. She returns to the family farm for Dorothy’s ninetieth birthday and finds herself overwhelmed by questions she has not thought about for decades. From pre-WWII England through the Blitz, to the fifties and beyond, discover the secret history of three strangers from vastly different worlds—Dorothy, Vivien, and Jimmy—who meet by chance in wartime London and whose lives are forever entwined.
The Secret Keeper explores longings and dreams, the lengths people go to fulfill them, and the consequences they can have. It is a story of lovers, friends, dreamers, and schemers told—in Morton’s signature style—against a backdrop of events that changed the world.
薇薇安实在是魅力十足。凯特笔下女主的天马行空总是非常浪漫。不管是伊莱莎、汉娜还是这本的薇薇安。 那条藏着光的小溪是一个孩子裹着悲伤的、易碎却发着亮的美好愿望。 原以为人设就是个冷美人,读了她的part后十分心疼,她乐观又坦然地由着内疚缠了她一生,甚至把暴力当作对...

评分 评分 评分必须给四星,之前没有看过任何简介,完全是靠作者的思路往下看,慢慢看慢慢回味,最后的高潮部分真的让我怎么也没有想到,但是又感觉这么的合情合理。家暴,怎么最近一直都有看到这样的新闻,它已经不是一个国家的问题,而是世界问题,不可姑息,不可随意屈服那些心理变态的人...
神马竟然有人评论. 我是Kate Morton的铁杆粉, 很喜欢她的写作风格,那种故事穿插,留给人悬念的感觉. secret keeper也不例外,力推哟
评分历史感和悬疑感比较强,叙事角度多变,在不同的年代和主角之间跳跃,比较扣人心弦。赞!自己很爱她的小说风格。
评分读的她的第二本书,不同时间段穿插,一开始还有点不习惯,情节十分紧凑,看有些人评论,很早就猜到结果,可是我直到最后才恍然大悟啊!
