Summary

In the summer of 1924, at a glittering society party held at Riverton House, a young poet shot himself. In 1999, Grace Bradley, a ninety-eight year-old woman, once servant of Riverton, is visited by a young director who is making a film about the events of that summer. She takes Grace back to the house and reawakens her memories. Told in flashback, this is the story of Grace's youth during the last days of Edwardian aristocratic privilege shattered by war, of the vibrant twenties, and the changes she witnessed as an entire way of life vanished forever.
