The House at Riverton is a gorgeous debut novel set in England between the wars. The novel tells the story of an aristocratic family, a house, a mysterious death, and a way of life that vanished forever, narrated in flashback by a woman who witnessed it all. The novel is full of secrets — some revealed, others hidden forever, reminiscent of the romantic suspense of Daphne du Maurier. It is also a meditation on memory and the devastation of war and a beautifully rendered window into a fascinating time in history.
Perfect for fans of 'Downton Abbey.'
