I love Forgotten Garden. But this book? It seems like Morton is going down a checklist for a literary mystery. Additionally, I can understand why Jamie broke up with Edith who seems a rather thoughtless girl.
I'm not sure I can explain how much I truly enjoyed reading this book without selling it short. It took me a very long time to read, not only because school started and I've been busy working, but also because Kate Morton's prose is so beautiful and extravagant that I treated every sentence like a b...
Spoilers ahead, proceed at own risk.This is the first Kate Morton book I have read so far. And I will definitely be reading her other novels.So, you may wonder, if I intend to read the others, why I only gave this book a three star rating.The reason is thus: I don't like tragedy.

It took me a month and a half to finish this book. I read other books alongside, that is true, but I only did this because I just could not make myself read more than twenty to thirty pages at a time.
