If you like British/Australian female mysteries, you will love this novel!

Rose is a selfish girl. She had everything but she still keep wanting...
Always caring for her well being and not an ounce to her cousin Eliza, who gave her everything.

Love this book. Read it once already.
Want to read it again, to get lost in Kate's words (^_^)

An intriguing tale of family politics, threaded with fairytale themes and characters, evocative of past times and a right tear-jerker!

Took me forever to get through this, but it reminded me how much I enjoy fiction. If you go through novels too quickly, this one will last you better :-)

Ohhh mannnn! Can't put this down! Gotta read her first book!

A fun read. A little predictable & easy, but still interesting & original.

Really liked this book Great story!

I adore this book more than chocolate or wine!

One chapter is better than none!

Just finished... I read the House at Riverton first which completely drew me in and I could not put it down. The Forgotten Garden didn't capture me in quite the same way but enjoyed both of them. ... more

Just finished... I read the House at Riverton first which completely drew me in and I could not put it down. The Forgotten Garden didn't capture me in quite the same way but enjoyed both of them. Gotta go buy the Distant Hours now.

Starting. Love this author.

Book club selection for October! We are bitches who read!!

Finally finished. Re-read The Secrety Gearden & Frances Hodgson Burnetts biography for reference help.

Done! Good story. I don't mind jumping around to tell a story but to many characters having their own story cause more confusion at times. Worth a read just take notes!
