About this listen
Summer 1924: on the night of a glittering society party by the lake of a grand English country house, a young poet takes his life. The only witnesses are sisters Hannah and Emmeline Hartford, and they will never speak to each other again.
Winter 1999: Grace Bradley, 98, one-time housemaid 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 Edwardian summer finally surrenders to the decadent twenties, The Shifting Fog is a multi-million-copy bestselling novel and one of the most successful debuts of all time.

Twisting Take
Lovely historical novel interwoven into the present. Wonderful reader. Really enjoyable. Became attached to the characters and was sorry when it ended.

The characters
I loved getting to know all the the characters in this book from the beginning to the end what each and everyone of them played, the descriptions of events so good I could visualise
this story I particularly loved how the author filled in the missing piece towards the end of Hannah’s story brilliant had me reflecting on the book for days after.
Well written and narrated a book you’ll find absorbing.

On and on it went,,,
The storyline is really good but it went on for far too long. With everything only coming out in the last half hour. There were characters which weren’t delved deeply into at all… like Grace’s mother’ history and what Florence & Alfred’s life too. So many important characters barely given 10 minutes of storyline or development but tedious detail about their day to day lives going on and on and on for hours.

It’s long!
So much to like in this novel but maybe I’m alone in thinking it could have be shorter! It’s a very well constructed story with a huge amount of detail, perhaps necessary to connect past and future events. Emelia Fox’s narration is excellent and kept me listening, I’m not sure if I’d have persisted without a narrator of her quality.
