The Wildling Sisters / Eve Chase / 320 pages

This story takes place in England and has two interacting story lines.  The first story line takes place in 1959. It is told by fifteen year old Margot. Margot and her three sisters are being raised by their widowed mother.  They go to spend the summer with their father's brother and his wife at their country estate while their mother travels for a job.  The aunt and uncle are still dealing with the sudden disappearance five years ago of their ten year old daughter, Audrey.  The sisters meet two young men from a neighboring estate and they spend the summer flirting with each other.  This puts a strain on the sisters' relationship and starts to divide them.  However the mystery of their cousin's disappearance brings them back together.  The alternating story line involves a young woman, Jessie, living in London fifty years later.  Jessie is married to a widower who has a teenage daughter.  Jessie and her husband have a toddler daughter.  Jessie and her husband buy a house in the country and move out of London.  The house they buy is the estate of  Margot's aunt and uncle.  Jessie and her step daughter have a strained relationship.  The two of them become involved with the mystery of Audrey's disappearance.
