The Word Keepers

Eleanor Carling, the elegant but reserved founder of New York’s largest publishing house, seems to have it all - wealth, power, and success. But when an unexpected manuscript lands in her hands, she is forced to face her past. With her colourful friends Jet and Georgina, she returns to Riverstone Hall, her childhood home shrouded in buried family secrets. As they unravel the layers of the past and uncover hidden truths, she confronts deep scars, resulting from ruthless ambition and social climbing from generations before. Eleanor learns that the quest for status can take dangerous turns, but every unfolding secret holds the power to change the present.

Set against the backdrop of an opulent 1940s post-war Newport and a glamorous modern-day French Riviera, “Word Keepers” explores class clashes and the lasting impacts of trauma, revealing that love may just require facing the truth.
