This is not my favorite story by this author.
This one takes place in Vermont, alternating chapters between 1950 and 2014. Girls who were troublemakers, illegitimate, rebellious, not wanted, etc. were sent to Idlewild Hall Boarding School. Present time, Fiona, a journalist never had closure to her sister's death years earlier and decided to investigate.
I laboriously read through a mystery, a ghost story and the lives of the girls. I had trouble interfacing with all the characters and it seems "I'm the only one not loving this book"!
I did enjoy parts of this story and the ending was predictable but satisfactory.
