Synopsis:
Summer 1924: On the eve of a glittering Society party, by the lake of a grand English country house, a young poet takes his life. The only witnesses, sisters Hannah and Emmeline Hartford, will never speak to each other again. Winter 1999: Grace Bradley, 98, one-time housemaid of Riverton Manor, is visited by a young director making a film about the poets suicide. Ghosts awaken and memories, long-consigned to the dark reaches of Graces mind, begin to sneak back through the cracks. A shocking secret threatens to emerge; something history has forgotten but Grace never could.
A thrilling mystery and a compelling love story, ”The House at Riverton” will appeal to readers of Ian McEwans ”Atonement”, L P Hartleys ”The Go-Between”, and lovers of the film ”Gosford Park”.
