Another dinger from Amanda Geard - Author

In Ireland, Maggie has grown up hearing her mother tell her the bedtime story of the glass key. It's a Nordic fairytale passed down by Maggie's grandmother Anna Swan, who mysteriously left her home one stormy night years ago, never to return. Now Maggie's grandfather has died and going through his things, Maggie is shocked to find a faded wartime letter, asking him to take in a baby. In that moment she realises that Anna Swan was a woman of many secrets.
This is a great page turner that kept me guessing till the very end. Perfect for the hols!!!
