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...

評分神馬竟然有人評論. 我是Kate Morton的鐵杆粉, 很喜歡她的寫作風格,那種故事穿插,留給人懸念的感覺. secret keeper也不例外,力推喲
评分曆史感和懸疑感比較強,敘事角度多變,在不同的年代和主角之間跳躍,比較扣人心弦。贊!自己很愛她的小說風格。

评分溫情脈脈的愛情小說點綴瞭點推理,為渲染氣氛的場景描述多瞭點,為懸疑去看這本小說多半會失望,我看一半就猜到結尾瞭。另外這個作者和Victoria Hislop差不多,寫的書都很套路化,基本都是後代無意發現瞭點什麼長輩的秘密然後開始尋根之旅...
评分讀的她的第二本書,不同時間段穿插,一開始還有點不習慣,情節十分緊湊,看有些人評論,很早就猜到結果,可是我直到最後纔恍然大悟啊!
