The House At Riverton (Kate Morton)

Summer 1924: On the night 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, onetime 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 Edwardian summer finally surrenders to the decadent twenties, The House at Riverton is the multimillion-copy bestselling novel, and one of the most successful debuts of all time.
