A story of love, Mystery, and A secret history revealed

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, ninety-eight, one-time housemaid at Riverton Manor, is visited by a young director making a film about the poet's suicide. Ghosts awaken and old 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.
