Now I am organised again I have this blogging thing off to a tee and am back in full swing - what a lot of sporting metaphors.
Great book. We all enjoyed this one.
Synopsis from Amazon
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 housemaid 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. A thrilling mystery and a compelling love story, "The House at Riverton" will appeal to readers of Ian McEwan's "Atonement", L.P. Hartley's "The Go-Between", and lovers of the film "Gosford Park".
I have even managed to get our reviews this time..

Lost the plot but a good read.

Love the ending but wish it had appeared earlier in the book. All the story is at the end.
We ate at The Globe in Rye. A very good meal with interesting 1940's decor. It was quite pricey but worth it I thought.
Here we are looking gorgeous as ever.
If you are a romantic and like costume dramas you would love this book.

A lovely evening and Kath's last as a free agent. Suggested reading for next month has to be Dr Spock.
