Return to Gone-Away

Return to Gone-Away

Return to Gone-Away

Elizabeth Enright

The magic is still there. When Portia Blake and her cousin Julian return to Gone-Away Lake, they expect another summer of wonder. What they find is better: an old house, sealed tight for nearly half a century, waiting to be unlocked. Every room is a time capsule, every corner a secret. Together with the eccentric elderly siblings who once lived there, the children unravel the mysteries of a family history filled with forgotten art, hidden letters, and the kind of treasures that can't be sold. This is adventure wrapped in nostalgia, discovery wrapped in family. Enright writes with the patience of someone who knows that the best revelations come slowly, that a summer spent uncovering the past is as thrilling as any chase. The house itself becomes a character, its walls holding stories of eccentricity, loss, and love that spans generations.
