Susie Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 (edited) I loved House on Riverton and The Forgotten Garden. Can anyone recommend an author who writes similar stories/books? I cant wait until Mortons' next book comes out in November. I should have said The House at Riverton. Dont see a place to edit.

chaliepud Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I recently read "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield, not quite Kate Morton but I was impressed by it. You could also try "The Villa In Italy" by Elizabeth Edmondson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I haven't read them myself, but I gather that Imogen Parker's 'Palace Hotel' Trilogy (this is the first) are similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corina Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) I think "Atonement" by Ian McEwen was so similar to "The House at Riverton" that it was quite spooky. Edited April 16, 2010 by corina Forgot something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacefield Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I second the recommendation of 'The Thirteenth Tale' by Setterfield, Susie. I loved that one! Spooky, and such a great story . I haven't read any Morton yet, but I have House at Riverton on my TBR shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I've not read any Kate Morton, but I wondered if something like this book, 'A Lifetime Burning' by Linda Gillard might appeal to you? Linda is a fantastic writer, one I recommend to anyone who will listen. She has written two other books, 'Emotional Geology', and 'Star Gazing' that I can also wholeheartedly recommend.

chaliepud Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Thanks Chrissy, Linda Gillard looks right up my street, another book for my Amazon wish list, thankfully I have a birthday next month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Thanks Chrissy, Linda Gillard looks right up my street, another book for my Amazon wish list, thankfully I have a birthday next month! Her writing is just so good! I should add that no one gives us a 'hero' like Linda, prepare to sigh, cry and laugh. I am usually drawn to gritty crime, but my head was turned by these three. Chick lit she ain't. She also happens to be a member of the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corina Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 That book sounds great, Chrissy. Suzie, a patient at work was reading Kate Moreton and said that if I liked her I would also like Diana Gabaldon, so maybe that is a suggestion.
