Synopsis from Goodreads
From the #1 internationally
bestselling author of The House at Riverton, a novel that takes the reader on
an unforgettable journey through generations and across continents as two women
try to uncover their family's secret past. A tiny girl is abandoned on a ship
headed for Australia in 1913. She arrives completely alone with nothing but a
small suitcase containing a few clothes and a single book, a beautiful volume
of fairy tales. She is taken in by the dockmaster and his wife and raised as
their own. On her twenty-first birthday, they tell her the truth, and with her
sense of self shattered and very little to go on, "Nell" sets out to
trace her real identity. Her quest leads her to Blackhurst Manor on the Cornish
coast and the secrets of the doomed Mountrachet family. But it is not until her
granddaughter, Cassandra, takes up the search after Nell's death that all the
pieces of the puzzle are assembled. A spellbinding tale of mystery and
self-discovery, The Forgotten Garden will take hold of your imagination
and never let go.
So, what do you think? Is it one that you'd like to add to your wish list? Have you already read it?
