Rating: - Best book I've read in a long time
I brought this book when it was first published, due to a recommendation by Richard and Judy's Book club. Which I find always chooses great books to read.I finally got around to reading the book last week, and was unable to put it down. The story is is brilliant, it keeping you on your toes, and wanting more after ever chapter. I think the story touched me, due to my grandmother being in service her self in the 1920's. So the book gave me a glimpse of what life in service would have been like for ... Read More

Rating: - Historic
I found this book a bit slow to start with, and struggled a bit to get into it. However, I eventually began to enjoy Grace's memories at Riverton. The lavish partys, the central characters, Hannah and Emmeline, and a secret Grace could never forget. Hannah and Emmy being close, and playing 'The Game' as young girls, with their brother. Things change as the sisters get older, and secrets and mysteries begin to unfold. I am glad I read this book, but did not find it as good as The Secret Garden.

Rating: - A magical read
One of the most beautifully written books I have encountered in years. The descriptions are so intricate and superb that it quickly absorbs you into the life of its characters. Rarely does one come across an author this young with so much talent in telling a tale that absorbs you from the first chapter. For those who want a good story that reaches deep within you, this is it.

Rating: - Enjoyable and well written
I enjoyed this book, although not as much as her follow-up, The Forgotten Garden.

For me the strengths were Kate Morton's clear ability to evoke the past and I found the insight into 1920s England colourful and absorbing. Also the characters were engaging and likeably flawed and the plot was engrossing if not gripping.

I agree with another reviewer, however, that the identity of Grace's father was glaringly obvious long before Grace finally realised, so much so that you wanted ... Read More
