On the eve of the First World War, a little girl is abandoned on a ship bound for Australia. A mysterious woman called The Authoress has promised to look after her, but disappears without a trace... A terrible secret comes to light... On the night of her twenty-first birthday, Nell O'Connor discovers that she is adopted, which changes her life forever. Decades later, she embarks on a quest for the truth of her ancestors that takes her to the windswept coast of Cornwall. A mysterious inheritance arriving in the 21st century... Upon Nell's death, her granddaughter Cassandra receives an unexpected inheritance: a cottage and its forgotten garden in the lands of Cornwall, known by the locals for the secrets they hold. Here is where Cassandra will finally discover the truth about the family and solve the mystery, which dates back a century. Critics have said... «Kate Morton, [...] in the tradition of classic Anglo-Saxon literature, is the latest literary phenomenon. [...] She captivates readers with her pleasant, meticulous, Victorian storytelling.» «The Forgotten Garden gathers all the elements of an authentic English romantic novel that appeals to a certain type of reader. [It presents] clear evocations of Charles Dickens, Jane Austen or the Brontë sisters.» «Kate Morton takes us across three continents in search of the true name of a red-haired girl abandoned on a pier clutching her suitcase. It is the story of a saga of women who did not believe in fairy tales but wrote them.» «A child protagonist, the historical backdrop of the First World War, an absorbing thriller, a dazzling author. Follow Kate Morton.» «Morton possesses a masterful ability to create mysterious stories in environments typical of legends. When you enter the garden suggested by this novel, you won't want to forget it.» «I was especially moved by The Forgotten Garden, in which an author unknown to me, Kate Morton, unravels a magnificent story written in the style of 19th-century classics but with a modern charm.» «Don't be fooled by the girl with the flower on the cover. The Forgotten Garden is an absorbing mystery novel that traps you in its labyrinth as you try to unravel the secrets of its characters.» |
