Kate Morton’s “The House at Riverton” is a haunting tale of secrets and betrayal. Set in Edwardian England, it follows Grace Bradley, a former housemaid, as she unravels the mysteries of her past. Morton’s vivid prose brings the grand Riverton estate to life, with its opulent rooms and shadowy corners. I was captivated by the intricate web of relationships and the way the story seamlessly weaves between past and present. The characters felt so real, I found myself thinking about them long after I finished reading.
History is a slippery thing. It can be a shadowy companion, always just behind you or barely in front of you, beckoning you to follow.
