I found the transitions back and forth between historical time periods, locations and protagonists easy to follow, helped in large part I believe by Lee’s character differentiation. The likeability of Morton’s characters played a crucial role, as did a charming romantic storyline that develops as the mystery unfolds.īut I think what sets this novel apart from many is a special touch of magic introduced through the clever telling of fairy tales.Ĭaroline Lee’s audio narration is understated and lets the story itself shine.
In The Forgotten Garden, Kate Morton sets scenes beautifully with evocative descriptions of the sights, sounds and the mood of the many different story settings.īut evocative description alone is not enough to keep you engrossed for 20+ hours. The Forgotten Garden had just the right amount of mood, mystery and complexity to reel me in and keep me hooked for the entire 20+ hours this audiobook spans (560 pages in paperback). It is hard to say too much about this novel’s storyline without giving away key elements of the mystery, so I will focus on my reading, or in this case, listening experience.
