The House at Riverton GHOSTS STIR
Au cours de l'été 1924, dans la propriété de Riverton, l'étoile montante de la poésie anglaise, lord Robert Hunter, se donne la mort au bord d'un lac, lors d'une soirée de la haute société. Dès lors, les soeurs Emme-line et Hannah Hartford, seuls témoins de ce drame, ne se sont plus adressé la parole. Selon la rumeur, l'une était sa fiancée et l'autre son amante... En 1999, une jeune réalisatrice décide de faire un film autour de ce scandale des années vingt et s'adresse au dernier témoin vivant, Grâce Bradley, employée à l'époque comme domestique au château. Grâce s'est toujours efforcée d'oublier cette nuit-là et le poids des souvenirs. Mais les fantômes du passé ne demandent qu'à se réveiller...
«(...) à la fois une intrigue, une fiction dramatique, une saga aristocratique et une peinture sociale de l'Angleterre du tout début du XXe siècle (...).»
