A great story, very hard to put down but just a bit too long for a one-sitting read which it deserves. It concerns a rich American family with parental and financial secrets. Our narrator, Mabel, is not of their world. She comes from a poor background and is a college chum of the daughter. She is invited to spend the summer with the extended family on their luxurious estate. It is the patriarch’s sister who approaches Mabel to expose her monstrous brother for she believes the Van Gogh in the main house to be hers. She gives Mabel an old diary where, she says, the truth lies. The diary goes back to the 1920s and there are a lot of ‘truths’ to expose! Great stuff. ~ Sarah Broadhurst
