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 poet s suicide. Ghosts awaken and memories, long consigned to the dark reaches of Grace s mind, begin to sneak back through the cracks. A shocking secret threatens to emerge; something history has forgotten but Grace never could. Set as the war-shattered Edwardian summer surrenders to the decadent twenties, "The House at Riverton" is a thrilling mystery and a compelling love story. "In honeyed tones Caroline Lee offers up the memories of Grace Bradley Lee s reading is intelligent and sympathetic." "AudioFile Magazine""

Bt uppskattade att jag skulle ge boken 3,5 i betyg och det stämmer! Lättläst och med atmosfär. Handlingen pendlar mellan 1924 och 1999. England efter WW1. Påminner om "Upstairs - Downstairs".

En verkligt romantisk historia som har det mesta man kan begära av en riktig "pageturner". Rekommenderas varmt till alla som gillar att läsa om Englands 1900-tal!
