Perfect for fans of Downton Abbey, it is the story of an aristocratic family, a house, a mysterious death and a way of life that vanished forever, told in flashback by a woman who witnessed it all and kept a secret for decades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrace Bradley went to work at Riverton House as a servant when she was just a girl, before the First World War. For years her life was inextricably tied up with the Hartford family, most particularly the two daughters, Hannah and Emmeline.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the summer of 1924, at a glittering society party held at the house, a young poet shot himself. The only witnesses were Hannah and Emmeline and only they-and Grace-know the truth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1999, when Grace is ninety-eight years old and living out her last days in a nursing home, she is visited by a young director who is making a film about the events of that summer. She takes Grace back to Riverton House and reawakens her memories. Told in flashback, this is the story of Grace's youth during the last days of Edwardian aristocratic privilege shattered by war, of the vibrant twenties and the changes she witnessed as an entire way of life vanished forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe novel is full of secrets-some revealed, others hidden forever, reminiscent of the romantic suspense of Daphne du Maurier. It is also a meditation on memory, the devastation of war and a beautifully rendered window into a fascinating time in history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKate Morton's first novel, originally published to critical acclaim in Australia, and quickly becoming a #1 bestseller in England, The House at Riverton is a vivid, page-turning novel of suspense and passion, with characters-and an ending-readers won't soon forget.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788466331050\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 7.5 Inches, Length: 4.95 Inches, Weight: 0.80248263368 Pounds, Width: 1.12 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kate Morton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51863379542323,"sku":"9788466331050","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/11830923485202.jpg?v=1754195409","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/casa-de-riverton","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
