This book wasn't as good as [b:The Lake House|21104828|The Lake House|Kate Morton|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1455089249s/21104828.jpg|40462273] but its bloody close.

Book: The Forgotten Garden Author: Kate Morton Genre: Fiction/Historical/Mystery Summary: 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 tal...
I loved this story. The structure is a little convoluted, as it follows three storylines in time, slowly unravelling the mystery of a child who was found abandoned on an Australian dock. There is the story of the child, the story of the child as a mature woman searching for her origins, and the stor...
I've had The Forgotten Garden on my shelf for a long time. I've wanted to read it, but it's just so LONG. I finally decided to tackle it so it would stop haunting me from the bookshelf. There is no denying that Morton can write beautifully. But, the book was so LONG. It wasn't only that it was ove...
I had quite a lot of fun getting lost in this mystery of an enchanting, abandoned garden.

Kate Morton's writing is superb. The Authoress and a little girl board a ship in England. She tells the little girl to wait for her, but she never comes back and the little girl is left all alone, sitting atop her suitcase, on a wharf in Australia. Without a name and no one looking for her the por...
