Description
Also published as THE SHIFTING FOG in ANZ market.
Kate Morton is a multimillion copy selling author and this is part of a brand new re-release with exciting celebrity narrators.
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 20s, The House at Riverton is a thrilling mystery and a compelling love story.

This is such a beautiful book. I read it when if first came out and instantly fell in love with the book and I have been a huge fan of Kate Morton ever since.
Listening to this book being read to me was just devine.
I found myself going to bed really early so I could snuggle up in bed, under my duver and lay there in the dark being read too!
I loved the book already but it generally warmed my soul listening to someone else read it to me.
I can not recommend this book, in any format that you like and I also highly recommend the author as well.
All her books are beautifuly written and are all 'must read' books.

First of all this audiobook is part of a new re- release of audiobooks with exciting celebrity narrators - The House of Riverton being narrated by Emilia Fox.
The story is set in WW1 during the 1920’s and is set in a Manor House and involves all the people who live within it. The main narration is told through the eyes of a housemaid who is now 98 and who is residing in a home and who recounts all her memories of life at Riverton and working for the Hartford family and the events that led up to a young poet committing suicide. I found the audiobook engaging and interesting as we flicked back through time and the housemaids secrets, as she unveils the mysteries and affairs that happened at Riverton. A great historical piece of fiction so beautifully narrated by Emilia Fox which I thoroughly enjoyed as I am already a fan of Kate Morton’s books. Thank you to Bolinda Audio and to Netgalley for my gifted copy.

The House at Riverton by Kate Morton is told through the eyes of Grace, a housemaid for an aristocratic family in the 1920s. Grace, now 98, revisits the ghosts of her time in service, finally revealing the secret of the fateful evening in 1924 that destroyed Riverton and the family for good. This book is decadent and cozy, despite being a heartrending story. I enjoyed the narration and would love a BBC mini series of Riverton!
