About this listen

When a sealed corridor is uncovered during renovations at Winterbourne House, archivist Lucian Reeve is summoned to examine a trunk of forgotten letters hidden for more than half a century. What begins as a matter of authentication soon reveals a carefully buried history—one shaped by forbidden love, surveillance, and a family’s determination to preserve its own version of the past.

As Reeve traces the origins of the correspondence, he uncovers signs of deliberate erasure: removed records, altered walls, and silences guarded with fierce intent. The house itself seems to resist disclosure, holding its secrets in architecture as much as memory. At the center stands Eveline Winterbourne, the formidable matriarch who understands precisely what the truth might cost.

The Winterbourne Archivist is a slow-burn literary mystery about the stories families choose to tell—and the ones they seal away. Atmospheric, restrained, and emotionally exacting, it explores how memory endures, how silence shapes generations, and why some truths refuse to remain hidden.
