This book has become a favorite of mine. It is excellent story and is very well written; from the very beginning it will take hold of you.
The story is told from the perspective of Grace Bradley who is looking back on her life. Grace at the age of 14 went to work for the Hartford family at Riverton House as a servant just prior to the start of World War I. Grace's life becomes intertwined in the lives of the two Hartford daughters, Hannah and Emmeline; she becomes particularly devoted to Hannah. At a glamorous party held at Riverton a young poet dies and only Grace, Hannah and Emmeline know the truth of what really happened.
The plot is captivating and after you finish this book you will still be thinking about the characters and nuances of the story line. This book does not disappoint.
