Lynn's Lines

Just finished Kate Morton's "The Forgotten Garden" last night, what a great read.  I loved the story, the intrigue, the characters.  Captivating story of a young girl left on a ship headed for Australis in 1913.  Taken in by the dockmaster and his wife and raised as their child.   However, at 21 years of age she was finally told the truth about her abandonment and she sets out to find her true identity. Uncovering long forgotten secrets, frightening, perplexing, a journey you won't want to miss.  However, the only draw back is the writing style.  Frequent changes in time and place are a bit confusing. There are so many characters and scene changes that sometimes you had to re-read once you figured out where you were and who was who. A challenge to read, but well worth the effort.
