Rating: - the house at riverton
Lately i have found it very hard to be truely captured by a book, where i really feel what the charactures feel and i am left thinking about the story when i put the book down, but this great read helped me get that back.

Rating: - Great book
I was initially drawn to this book by its cover but hesitated to buy it because of the negative reviews I had read. I eventually went with my gut feeling and was really glad I did! I found this to be a compelling read and was really sad when I came to the end and had to find something else to read. After a few that I gave up on I eventually found Faye L Booth's Cover the Mirrors and can definitely recommend it if you like "House at Riverton".

Rating: - Best book I've read in a long time
I brought this book when it was first published, due to a recommendation by Richard and Judy's Book club. Which I find always chooses great books to read.I finally got around to reading the book last week, and was unable to put it down. The story is is brilliant, it keeping you on your toes, and wanting more after ever chapter. I think the story touched me, due to my grandmother being in service her self in the 1920's. So the book gave me a glimpse of what life in service would have been like for her. The ... Read More
