Rendition In Favor Of Books The Forgotten Garden

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.

Assess Out Of Books The Forgotten Garden

God Bless A Milk Cow!Once again, most of my friends on GR loved this book to death! I'm going to quit picking books my friends love to death! I have had this book for a year or more. I got it from the used bookstore for $1.00. I love the cover, I loved the summary and I thought I would love the book. Now, don't get me wrong. I liked the book, it just didn't take me there, wherever it took everyone else. Actually, there are 2 or 3 friends that almost everything they love, I will only like or not

Oh for goodness sake.I know I'm going against the grain here, as a lot of people rated this book so highly, but surely I can't be the only one so disappointed in it?I usually love Kate Morton's books but this one just dragged and dragged whilst rehashing the same story. At first I thought it may be because I was listening to the audible version, but then remembered that I'd listened to 'The Distant Hours' too and had really enjoyed it.The story hinted at deep, dark secrets, but there weren't

I read 549 pages and that was the reveal? Really?God, I was bored. I only stuck it out because I figured the book had to be building up to something. And I suppose that technically, it was. Just not anything particularly interesting or worth waiting for. I get it, everyone in the book has mother/child abandonment issues.I think this book really wanted to be The Thirteenth Tale, but didn't have the balls (if you pardon the inaccurate expression, what with how female-centric both titles are). Now

The Forgotten Garden is a multi-generational mystery that reveals itself bit by haunting bit, featuring three women: - Eliza, born in the late 1800s, who is born into poverty in London. Eliza's mother was a young woman who had run away from her upper crust home, for reasons that become clear later in the story, but she is found and pulled back into her wealthy family's embrace (or maybe it's their tentacles).- Nell, born in 1909, who is found sitting on her suitcase on an Australian ship dock in

Review summed up in two words: OVERBLOWN & UNDERWHELMING.In some more: this is a beautifully written, but utterly moronic story where the infinite fatuousness of the characters just makes you want to bang your head to the wall repeatedly.During the whole time I was struggling to finish the book I had this feeling of something being "off". The voice of the author & the writing style was pretty seductive: they made me want to believe that it was the terrible clutches of blind, cruel,

*Kat looks at The Forgotten Garden**Kat looks at the beckoning stack of other books to read**Kat looks back at the first 33 pages of The Forgotten Garden**Kat groans*So basically there's this woman. Let's call her Stupidhead because I couldn't care enough to remember her name. She finds out on her 21st birthday party that her loving, adoring family is not her biological family. They found her as a very small child and cared enough to take her in and give her a wonderful home full of people who

Aussie author Kate Morton deftly managed to push nearly every one of my reading buttons with her lovely book, The Forgotten Garden:1. Not so young woman with a haunted past - check2. Not-so-fairy-Grandmother who bequeaths said woman an old house with a mysterious history - check3. Said old, mysterious house is actually a cottage on the wild Cornish coast, complete with a hidden garden, a handsome neighbor, and the faintest suggestion of the supernatural - check4. Said woman embarks on a quest to
