- Summary
- In the summer of 1924, at a glittering party held at Riveton House, a young poet shot himself. The only witnesses were sisters Hannah and Emmeline - and Grace, a young housemaid. In 1999, Grace is ninety-eight years old and living in a nursing home when a young director making a film about the events of that summer visits her. Grace is taken back to Riverton House, where memories that she had long ago consigned to the dark reaches of her mind begin to sneak back through the cracks
