Description
Thirty-eight year old Cassandra is lost, alone and grieving. Her much loved grandmother, Nell, has just died and Cassandra, her life already shaken by a tragic accident ten years ago, feels like she has lost everything known and dear to her. But an unexpected and mysterious bequest from Nell turns Cassandra’s life upside downand ends up challenging everything she thought she knew about herself and her family. Inheriting a book of dark and intriguing fairytales written by Eliza Makepeace Rutherford – the Victorian authoress who disappeared mysteriously in the early twentieth century – as well as a cliff-top cottage on the other side of the world, Cassandra takes her courage in both hands to follow in the footsteps of Nell, on a quest to fi nd out the truth about their history, their family and their past; little knowing that in the process, she will also discover a new life for herself.Reviews for The House at Riverton (also known as The Shifting Fog):“Kate Morton's The Forgotten Garden takes root in your imagination and grows into something enchanting” - Mari Malcolm, Amazon “A long, lush, perfectly escapist read.” - The Daily News “This debut page-turner... recounts the crumbling of a prominent British family asseen through the eyes of one of its servants... Morton triumphs with a riveting plot, atouching but tense love story and a haunting ending.” — Publishers Weekly
