The House On Honeysuckle Lane (2016) - Plot & Excerpts
The carved frame was made of walnut and must have cost a small fortune, especially for a newly wed couple. Then again, maybe Caro’s family had helped with the purchase. Emma was trying to concentrate on one of the books she had loaded into her Kindle, a biography of the fascinating Frida Kahlo, but her mind wouldn’t behave. It kept wandering back to dinner, hearing Rumi’s insulting remarks about her mother, watching in retrospect Daniel’s whispered asides to his niece. Really, she thought, Daniel was too much of a conspirator with Rumi, encouraging her borderline disrespectful attitude. It annoyed her, but she felt she had no right to intervene—well, except in the rather childish way she had at dinner. Still, she wished someone would step in to help mother and daughter get past this difficulty that seemed to have suddenly sprung up. As far as she knew there had never been trouble between them in the past. Emma wondered what Anna Maria felt about the situation. She was an emotionally astute woman; at the same time, one who refrained from interfering where her help might not be welcome.
