The Shifting Fog

This special second edition of Kate Morton's acclaimed debut, The Shifting Fog, which went on to sell millions of copies across the globe, is read by award-winning audiobook narrator and actress Emilia Fox.

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.
