A lost child: On the eve of the first world war, a little girl is found abandoned on a ship to Australia. A mysterious woman called the Authoress had promised to look after her – but the Authoress has disappeared without a trace.

A terrible secret: On the night of her 21st birthday, Nell O'Connor learns a secret that will change her life forever. Decades later, she embarks upon a search for the truth that leads her to the windswept Cornish coast and the strange and beautiful Blackhurst Manor, once owned by the aristocratic Mountrachet family.

A mysterious inheritance: On Nell's death, her granddaughter, Cassandra, comes into an unexpected inheritance. Cliff Cottage and its forgotten garden are notorious among the Cornish locals for the secrets they hold – secrets about the doomed Mountrachet family and their ward Eliza Makepeace, a writer of dark Victorian fairytales. It is here that Cassandra will finally uncover the truth about the family and solve the century-old mystery of a little girl lost.

Reviews for The Forgotten Garden

‘[A] dark, suspenseful feast for history-lovers ...’ -- Sunday Telegraph 'A beautifully written and satisfying novel.' -- The Daily Express 'The Forgotten Garden simmers with secrets and strangeness.' -- Good Housekeeping ‘The story is full of twists and turns that kept hold of me all the way through – and kept me guessing until the final chapters.’ -- Evening Gazette (UK) ‘A compelling, richly layered mystery ...' -- Australian Women’s Weekly ‘A long, lush, perfectly escapist read.’ -- New York Daily News ‘ .... once in a while [a] book comes along that you can’t put down, you even put off going to work so you can finish it. You also know that at least once in your life, you will pick it up to reread. This is such a book ...’ -- Armidale Express
