Grace Bradley has spent a lifetime keeping the secrets of Riverton, the grand English estate where she worked as a housemaid during the glittering 1920s—until a filmmaker arrives decades later, determined to uncover the truth behind a decades-old mystery that shattered the aristocratic family she served. As Grace finally opens up about those golden years between the wars, she reveals a world of glamour and privilege haunted by hidden passions, unspoken loves, and a death that was never quite what it seemed. This is a richly layered story that weaves together the faded elegance of a lost era with the quiet power of an old woman reclaiming her own narrative. If you loved the atmospheric mystery and intricate family dynamics of Downton Abbey, you'll be utterly captivated by Morton's stunning debut.
