A foundling, an old
book of dark fairy tales, a secret garden, an aristocratic family, a
love denied, and a mystery. The Forgotten Garden is a captivating,
atmospheric and compulsively readable story of the past, secrets, family
and memory from the international best-selling author Kate Morton.
Cassandra
is lost, alone and grieving. Her much loved grandmother, Nell, has just
died and Cassandra, her life already shaken by a tragic accident ten
years ago, feels like she has lost everything dear to her. But an
unexpected and mysterious bequest from Nell turns Cassandra's life
upside down and ends up challenging everything she thought she knew
about herself and her family.
Inheriting a book of dark and
intriguing fairytales written by Eliza Makepeace - the Victorian
authoress who disappeared mysteriously in the early twentieth century -
Cassandra takes her courage in both hands to follow in the footsteps of
Nell on a quest to find out the truth about their history, their family
and their past; little knowing that in the process, she will also
discover a new life for herself. From Goodreads.
A bit confusing in the start with all the jumping back and forth in time but really intriguing. I kept thinking I knew how it all happened but I kept being wrong! I like that kind of book.
