Shifting Fog 20th Anniversary Edition by Kate Morton

‘A sweeping saga, a period piece, a romance and a mystery.’ Sunday Telegraph

Summer 1924: On the eve of a glittering Society party, by the lake of a grand English country house, a young poet takes his life. The only witnesses, sisters Hannah and Emmeline Hartford, will never speak to each other again.

Winter 1999: Grace Bradley, 98, one-time house-maid of Riverton Manor, is visited by a young director making a film about the poet’s suicide. Ghosts awaken and memories, long consigned to the dark reaches of Grace’s mind, begin to sneak back through the cracks. A shocking secret threatens to emerge; something history has forgotten but Grace never could.

‘An extremely accomplished mystery story … enthralling and exquisite.’ Good Reading
