The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton
The Forgotten Garden is the story of Nell, a little girl found in a shipyard in Australia with no memory of how she got there. The dock master and his wife raise her as their own, but on her 21st birthday, Nell discovers that she isn’t biologically related to her family, and she suffers deeply from it. She leaves her family, and begins to search for clues to her past, and where she might have come from, and eventually her granddaughter, Cassandra, takes over solving the family mystery.
This was the type of book I would read again. If you like
anything having to do with mysteries, romance, or historical fiction, The Forgotten Garden does not
disappoint. The only issue I had with this book was that the dates
jumped around from 1913 to 2005, and all over in between, which made getting into it difficult at first, but otherwise I could
hardly put it down.
I give this book an “A”.
If you liked this
book, I recommend The House at Riverton
by Kate Morton, and also The Secret
Garden by Francis Hodgson Burnett, because of its many parallels to this book.
