She takes Grace back to Riverton House and reawakens her memories. Told in flashback, this is the story of Grace's youth during the last days of Edwardian aristocratic privilege shattered by war, of the vibrant twenties and the changes she witnessed as an entire way of life vanished forever. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe novel is full of secrets--some revealed, others hidden forever, reminiscent of the romantic suspense of Daphne du Maurier.
