Au cours de l'été 1924, dans la propriété de Riverton, l'étoile montante de la poésie anglaise, lord Robert Hunter, se donne la mort au bord d'un lac, lors d'une soirée de la haute société. Dès lors, les surs Emmeline et Hannah Hartford, seuls témoins de ce drame, ne se sont plus adressé la parole. Selon la rumeur, l'une était sa fiancée et l'autre son amante... En 1999, une jeune réalisatrice décide de faire un film autour de ce scandale des années vingt et s'adresse au dernier témoin vivant, Grace Bradley, employée à l'époque comme domestique au château. Grace s'est toujours efforcée d'oublier cette nuit-là et le poids des souvenirs. Mais les fantômes du passé ne demandent qu'à se réveiller...

Review:
Amazon Best of the Month, April 2008: In her cinematic debut novel, Kate Morton immerses readers in the dramas of the Ashbury family at their crumbling English country estate in the years surrounding World War I, an age when Edwardian civility, shaken by war, unravels into the roaring Twenties. Grace came to serve in the house as a girl. She left as a young woman, after the presumed suicide of a famous young poet at the property's lake. Though she has dutifully kept the family's secrets for decades, memories flood back in the twilight of her life when a young filmmaker comes calling with questions about how the poet really died--and why the Ashbury sisters never again spoke to each other afterward. With beautifully crafted prose, Morton methodically reveals how passion and fate transpired that night at the lake, with truly shocking results. Her final revelation at the story's close packs a satisfying (and not overly sentimental) emotional punch. --Mari Malcolm
