The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton
5.0
I'm struggling to find the words to describe how wonderful this novel was. It has currently become my new favorite book 5/5 stars!
The Forgotten Garden is filled with fairy-tales (quite literally), mystery, secrets, history, and incredibly rich characters. Morton creates unique characters that were easy for me to identify with and connect to. The story centers around Nell, an abandoned and then adopted little girl seeking to find her true family. At Nell's death, her granddaughter, who was in essence equally abandoned, take up the search and throws the reader into the realm of the past lives of characters like Eliza and Rose.
The story is exciting, and emotional (I cried three times!). It is vibrant and historically rich, and I would read it again, and recommend it countless times!
I absolutely loved the Forgotten Garden.
