If you liked Atonement by Ian McEwan or Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro, you will love The House at  Riverton, by Kate Morton. I couldn't put this book down. The story is told by Grace, an old woman in her 90's, who is asked by a modern day filmmaker to make sure all the details are right for the movie she is making about the house at Riverton. Grace started working for the family at Riverton manor in the early 1900's when she was 14 years old. The story takes place during a very tumultuous time in history. There are many family mysteries, and Grace is the only person still living who knows everyone's secrets. The story unfolds and secrets are revealed in a masterful way that will keep you up long past your bedtime! ~Reviewed by Ann Reierson
