Rachel Laritz, costume designer at the Court Theatre, lingers in her car with:
The Secret Keeper I am addicted to audiobooks and recently finished “reading” Kate Morton’s The Secret Keeper and fell in love with the story, style, and characters. The book begins with Laurel, a teen hiding out in her tree house, glancing out of the window to see a stranger walking up the lane. The stranger greets her mother, Dorothy, and Laurel witnesses a shocking crime. Fifty years later, Laurel finds herself haunted by memories of the crime and attempts to find the answers that only Dorothy’s past can provide. Morton unveils Dorothy’s story by bouncing back and forth from pre-WWII England to the present day, to the streets of London at the height of the Blitz, to the 60s. Through the eyes of Dorothy and her two unlikely friends Vivien and Jimmy, each from notably different worlds, Morton weaves a heartfelt tale of fortitude, lovers, deception, and perseverance.
