This is the first novel by Kate Morton. Because I enjoyed her novel The Forgotten Garden so much, I decided to take another along on our Christmas cruise. The House at Riverton is the story of an elderly woman who is remembering her life as a ladies maid when she was very young. We see many years of triumphs and tragedies of both the family and the staff through her eyes. I enjoyed the story even though I did not feel it was quite as compelling as the Forgotten Garden. There were some twists and turns in the plot that were a bit predictable. Overall, though, a pretty good read.

AuthorMy name is Elizabeth. I love to read. In college I took speed reading and kept a list of everything I read (I wish I could find that list!). As a teen I would read under the blankets half the night. As a child I first patronized the book mobile and later read entire sections of books from the school library. Now, with dozens of books on my "want to read" list, I tend to doze off if I read at night and I am usually in the middle of several books at one time. Archives
