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.
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...

评分这里才两条评价啊== 不同年代,人物之间转换,表达的情感也很细腻,喜欢。(有时读着"过去"正起劲呢,突然又回到"现在",很想摔,哈哈!最喜欢的还是写Jimmy/Vivien的那段,pure and innocent
评分温情脉脉的爱情小说点缀了点推理,为渲染气氛的场景描述多了点,为悬疑去看这本小说多半会失望,我看一半就猜到结尾了。另外这个作者和Victoria Hislop差不多,写的书都很套路化,基本都是后代无意发现了点什么长辈的秘密然后开始寻根之旅...
