Book Review of The Forgotten Garden

The Forgotten Garden
booknookchick avatar reviewed on + 117 more book reviews


An intriguing gothic suspense that spans 3 generations that had me feeling the writing style for this author was slightly similar to that of Setterfield's "The Thirteenth Tale".

The book centers around three protagonists, one from each generation, beginning in the Victorian era. Characters personalities are clearly understood and the physical descriptions allow readers to easily understand the personalities of the characters and immerse themselves into their world.

The Mountrachet family's lifestyle seemed very similar to Downton Abbey's Crawley family, with the exception that the Mountrachet's are a horribly dysfunctional family.
