I really became quite enchanted with this tale. The bewitching fairy tales and the charming cottage garden made the book enticing and captured me from the first few pages. Kate Morton did a beautiful job writing. I could picture, in my mind, all the events I was reading about … just like watching a movie that only I could see. I found myself wrapped up in a mystery that kept me guessing as to the outcome. The twist and turns, and all the transporting my thoughts to different time periods … kept me up all hours of the night reading. Here is a look at what “The Forgotten Garden” has to offer: 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.
