With its engrossing plot and engulfing pace, Morton’s story of a grand English home, its masters and servants, and the tragic death of a young poet should capture the attention of Downton Abbey fans. The tale unfolds through the memories of a former maid, Grace, more than seventy years after the story’s central event - a party held in 1924 - takes place.
While this is a much more gothic story than Downton Abbey... it is as lush and lovely in its attention to language and detail and should please readers who enjoy a focus on characters and setting.
