ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The House at Riverton" by Kate Morton is a historical mystery that unfolds between the years 1914 and 1999. The story centers around Grace Reeves, who begins working as a housemaid at Riverton Manor. Decades later, she is prompted by a filmmaker to revisit her past and her connection to the Hartford family, whose lives were forever changed by a tragic event at the manor. As Grace reflects on her memories, the novel explores themes of memory, class distinctions, hidden secrets, love, and loss, while revealing the complex relationships and events that ultimately led to a devastating outcome. The narrative navigates a world of privilege, societal expectations, and the enduring impact of the past.
