The Forgotten Garden

THE FORGOTTEN GARDEN is an epic adventure which spans generations and continents. It is a tale of mother/daughter connection that binds so tightly, so intimately, and yet almost invisibly.
As in all great books there is a journey. This one involves not only a physical journey, but an emotional journey as well as one of discovery.
Wonderful writing encourages the readers imagination, not challenging it with overly wrought sentences or vocabulary. Ms. Morton has expertly woven in each woman's authentic voice, reflecting her specific time in history, her station in life and her location. Envy is as much a character here as any of the other physical ones, wielding its power over feelings and causing life to be altered, as is Greed and Loneliness.

I absolutely loved reading this book. It came recommended from my dear friend Susan, and I give thanks for the wonderful adventure.
