House at Riverton by Kate Morton

So this is the second book by Kate Morton that Sister Tillie has passed on to me (although I think the author wrote this one first). And again, it's about a wealthy English family around the time or World War I. This book is written from the point of view of one of the servants to this family which gives it an interesting slant. This character sees and hears much of what happens in the family - probably much more than a real servant would, but it was necessary for the plot that she knows all. I enjoyed it very much, although I think that I've read my fill about the upper crust of England for a while. - June
