Samenvatting:

Featuring a foreword from the author, this is a special tenth anniversary edition of The House at Riverton, Kate Morton's acclaimed bestselling debut

Within its four walls lay a secret that would last a lifetime . . . 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 Edwardian summer finally surrenders to the decadent twenties, The House at Riverton is the multi-million copy bestselling novel, and one of the most successful debuts of all time.
