March 2016 Reading Group Book of the Month.

Kate Riordan has written another heartfelt beautifully readable novel about two families, set in the dual time frames of 1878 and 1922. As a tragedy unfolds in front of our eyes in the prologue, captivating whispers of intrigue continue to echo through the tale. The story revolves around Fenix House, a family home where Grace arrives as Governess in 1922, her Grandmother Harriet held the same position in 1878 but in very different circumstances. Kate Riordan has a subtle hand, she leaves you on a delicious spellbinding note as you move between Grace and Harriet’s tales. The undertones of unease reflect through each story as connecting circles ripple and expand, linking the two until they become one. There is a gentle luminosity to the writing, it embraces you as you read, both poignant and moving, 'The Shadow Hour' is quite simply gorgeous. ~ Liz Robinson

STOP PRESS: Why not check out Kate Riordan's story, The Red Letter, an evocative short story and featuring characters from her debut The Girl in the Photograph. It also comes complete with an extract for The Shadow Hour.
