Reviews for The House at Riverton
I love Kate Morton's books
Kate Morton is Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl for grown-ups.
While she doesn't write about magic faraway trees or boys who live in giant peaches, she has a gift for storytelling that sweeps you up into the lives of her characters and their worlds.
Morton has written three books to date - The Shifting Fog / The House at Riverton, The Forgotten Garden and The Distant Hours.
Each book is set in the grand manor houses of early 20th century England. Present day events become loose threads that unravel the long-held secrets contained within their walls.
I loved all three books so much I can't pick a favourite and I recommend them all.
