From the internationally bestselling author of "The House at Riverton," an unforgettable new novel that transports the reader from the back alleys of poverty of pre-World War I London to the shores of colonial Australia where so many made a fresh start, and back to the windswept coast of Cornwall, England, past and presentA 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 tales. She is taken in by the dockmaster and his wife and raised as their own. On her twenty-first birthday they tell her the truth, and with her sense of self shattered and with very little to go on, "Nell" sets out on a journey to England to try to trace her story, to fi nd her real identity. Her quest leads her to Blackhurst Manor on the Cornish coast and the secrets of the doomed Mountrachet family. But it is not until her granddaughter, Cassandra, takes up the search after Nell's death that all the pieces of the puzzle are assembled. At Cliff Cottage, on the grounds of Blackhurst Manor, Cassandra discovers the forgotten garden of the book's title and is able to unlock the secrets of the beautiful book of fairy tales.This is a novel of outer and inner journeys and an homage to the power of storytelling. "The Forgotten Garden" is fi lled with unforgettable characters who weave their way through its spellbinding plot to astounding effect.Morton's novels are #1 bestsellers in England and Australia and are published in more than twenty languages. Her fi rst novel, "The House at Riverton," was a "New York Times" bestseller.
不是很喜欢KATE MORTON的风格.不过这个故事真的很抓人心. 1913年从英国到澳洲的船上下来一个四岁的小女孩.不肯告诉别人自己的名字. 被好心人收养,取名叫NELL. 久而久之,她忘记了这一段经历. 20岁时,养父告诉了她. 而直到养父死后,NELL当年来澳洲时随身带的小箱子才回到她手中,从而开始了寻根之旅. 她在英国找到了什么,发现了什么. 书里没说得很清楚. 许多年后,NELL去世.居然有一栋英国乡下的小宅子留给她最亲的孙女. 孙女也来到英国,开始了她的寻找.
