Still reading The Forgotten Garden. The Women's Weekly sticker on the cover ("Great Read!") isn't quite correct. It's an interesting story, that's not quite sure what it wants to be, and ... #35 & 36 I totally agree. I got stuck with The Forgotten Garden as a early review book for Amazon and was forced to make my way though. I kept screaming - get on with it! But it seemed to be getting favorable reviews at the time I posted mine.
I think Morton has a better book in her but ... Good luck with The Forgotten Garden, wookie. In my opinion, it did not live up to expectations, but perhaps it is just me. ... put Wolf Hall aside for a brief break (wah! didn't wanna!) so I can knock over a book for my bookgroup: Kate Morton's The Forgotten Garden.

"Surely you don't suggest we lock her in the cottage?"

I'm reading The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton, which is a kind of mystery as a main character tries to figure out what happened to her grandmother as a child.

Reading The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton.. liking it so far!! >19
I really liked The House at Riverton, and loved The Forgotten Garden. I would have given The Forgotten Garden 5 stars, except that I thought some of her time shifts were a bit awkward.

I too love a good long book with details galore & I've been craving gothic-y things right now for some reason. Last night I started The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton. All I have to say is that I forced myself to turn off the light. The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton is a pretty good read, I guess. I like a good, long book like this one that is loaded with detail. Back and forth between the early 1900s and 2005. Australia, London, Cornwall, with some fairy tales thrown in for good measure.
