The Forgotten Garden is written by Kate Morton. This book is about 560 pages and has a unique writing style to it. Each chapter that is written flip-flops between two different time periods, a present day time period and then goes back to 1913.
In 1913, a girl who goes by the name Nell, is being shipped with others to America. She is told to stay on the ship and hide until further noice by a lady known as Authoress. Authoress neer returns for her so the captian and his wife decide to raise her as their own child and tell her the truth about her life when Nell turns twenty-one. This where Nell decides to find her true identity but she doesn't find everything out and that is where her granddaughter comes in. Cassandra picks up from where her grandmothere leaves off and finds out the truth about their family history that left untold.
I recommend this book to young-adult to adults. This book is a much more difficult book to follow so it wouldn't be very appropriate for someone younger. I thought the way that she described every situation made it seem so life-like.
Sounds like a really good book(:
ReplyDeleteHmm maybee I will read it
This sounds like it would be a good book read.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read this book before, but it sounds very interesting! When we read Cassandra's part, do we learn things about Nell before she tells us about it?
