The Forgotten Garden Book Discussion

On October 11th at 10 am SLT (1pm EST), we'll be discussing Kate Morton's book, The Forgotten Garden in Second Life at our Reader's Garden in Cybrary City 1. The story spans several generations and the perpetuation of a family secret makes this story intriguing and mysterious. An element of fairy tales is woven in. As the secret of the garden unfolds, the reader comes to understand the importance of family, communication, and a sense of belonging. Here is a blurb about the book:

"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."
