author of The House at Riverton, an unforgettable new novel that transports
the reader from the back alleys of poverty of pre-World War I London to the
shores of colonial Australia where so many made a fresh start, and back to the
windswept coast of Cornwall, England, past and present. A tiny girl is
abandoned on a ship headed for Australia in 1913. She arrives completely alone
with nothing but a small suitcase containing a few clothes and a single book
— a beautiful volume of fairy tales. She is taken in by the dockmaster and
his wife and raised as their own. On her twenty-first birthday they tell her
the truth, and with her sense of self shattered and with very little to go on,
“Nell” sets out on a journey to England to try to trace her story, to fi nd
her real identity. Her quest leads her to Blackhurst Manor on the Cornish
coast and the secrets of the doomed Mountrachet family. But it is not until
her granddaughter, Cassandra, takes up the search after Nell’s death that all
the pieces of the puzzle are assembled. At Cliff Cottage, on the grounds of
Blackhurst Manor, Cassandra discovers the forgotten garden of the book’s title
and is able to unlock the secrets of the beautiful book of fairy tales. This
is a novel of outer and inner journeys and an homage to the power of
storytelling. The Forgotten Garden is filled with unforgettable characters who
weave their way through its spellbinding plot to astounding effect. Morton’s
novels are 1 bestsellers in England and Australia and are published in more
than twenty languages. Her fi rst novel, The House at Riverton, was a New York
Times bestseller. Read more
