      By Morton, Kate, 1976-
       2008., Adult, Atria Books Call No: Fic Mor   Edition: 1st Atria Books Hardcover ed.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "The House at Riverton is a gorgeous debut novel set in England between the wars. It is the story of an aristocratic family, a house, a mysterious death and a way of life that vanished forever, told in flashback by a woman who witnessed it all and kept a secret for decades. Grace Bradley went to work at Riverton House as a servant when she was just a girl, before the First World War. For years her life was inextricably tied up with the Hartford family, most particularly the two daughters, Hannah and Emmeline. In the summer of 1924, at a glittering society party held at the house, a young poet shot himself. The only witnesses were Hannah and Emmeline and only they -- and Grace -- know the truth. In 1999, when Grace is ninety-eight years old and living out her last days in a nursing home, she is visited by a young director who is making a film about the events of that summer. She takes Grace back to Riverton 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. The novel is full of secrets -- some revealed, others hidden forever, reminiscent of the romantic suspense of Daphne du Maurier. It is also a meditation on memory, the devastation of war and a beautifully rendered window into a fascinating time in history."--Publisher description.

      By Hubbard, Kate, 1963-
       2012., Chatto & Windus Call No: 941.0810 H875s    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: Based on the letters and diaries of six members of Queen Victoria's household,Serving Victoriaoffers unique insight into the queen and her court. Seen through the eyes of her servants-including the governess to the royal children, her maid of honor, her chaplain, and her personal physician-Victoria emerges as more vulnerable, more emotional, more selfish, more comical than the austere figure depicted in her portraits.We see a woman prone to fits of giggles, who wept easily and often, who shrank from confrontation yet insisted on controlling the lives of those around her. We witness her extraordinary and debilitating grief at the death of her husband, Albert, and her sympathy toward the tragedies that afflicted her household.A perfect foil to the pomp and circumstance, prudery and conservatism that has become synonymous with Victoria's reign,Serving Victoriais an unforgettable glimpse of what it meant to serve the queen.
