Here is a book I could not put down. I reached a point where I could no longer read my factual novels. Burnout! So went looking for something thick to travel with. Oops! The suspense is so good, that I read aprx two thirds of the novel last night , to page 389
I wanted to go to sleep but pushed on....there were some blahs, where I did some speed reading, you know checking the first sentence, glancing the paragraph, (they could have been omitted) but the desire to continue was there! I am going to finish the book today, I know that! I have two others to start on for the week, just relax novels, fun and no pondering why this or that.
The Forgotten Garden, is story that will glue you to the book, it changes scenes, and has space, from England to Australia and back. It has morals to think about, and it focuses on different characters in different time periods, so it meets all the requirements of a good novel, while you wonder about the mystery in the book. Who is Nan, where did she come from? She was found on the dock in Austrailia at 4 years old.
She did not know she was a foundling , but when she discovered that she fell apart and so begins the quest to solve the mystery! It is a clever plot, well thought out....a beach read!
