The Glenwood Treasure – By Kim Moritsugu

By Kim Moritsugu

Overview More Info
Cover for The Glenwood Treasure

After her marriage breaks down, shy schoolteacher Blithe Morrison takes refuge for the summer with her parents in the affluent Toronto neighbourhood of Rose Park. Blithe's return home evokes memories of her lifelong sibling war with Noel, her golden-boy older brother, now a diplomat posted in England. But when Blithe befriends a lonely 11-year-old girl and takes on a local history project, she uncovers truths about a long-rumoured buried treasure that forever alter her perceptions of her family, her friends, and herself.

Historic homes, ravines, and family secrets all figure in The Glenwood Treasure, a curl-up-and-enjoy novel that updates the traditions of such suspense classics as Josephine Tey's Brat Farrar and Daphne DuMaurier's Rebecca.

Reviews and comments on
The Glenwood Treasure

"If, long ago, you loved the Nancy Drew mysteries, you will enjoy this book, with its posh homes, men with strange eyes, and its distracted parents -a good book for a young woman starting to dip into adult literature."

"Kim Moritsugu is a witty social observer who deftly blends mystery with a comedy of manners in The Glenwood Treasure."

"Kim Moritsugu's novel resembles one of the old houses that it has as its setting: at first, one thinks it needs work, repairs, stripping of finishes, but by the end, the house is treasured for its fine bones."
