The Shifting Fog

Synopsis

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 house-maid 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. Set as the war-shattered Edwardian summer surrenders to the decadent twenties, The Shifting Fog is a thrilling mystery and a compelling love story.

I love period novels, and this one does not disappoint. Strong characterisation and good use of tension kept me interested to the last page. Some aspect's of the plot reminded me of Blanche's story from 'A Streetcar Named Desire'. That didn't detract from the narrative though. I was interested to see where it went. If this is an appropriated text, it is done well and with twists. A good read.
