The forgotten garden. [large print] Kate Morton.
In 1913 London, a little girl plays hide and seek on the deck of a ship while waiting for the woman who left her there to return. But as darkness comes, the girl is alone as the ship leaves for Australia. The dockmaster and his wife take in the little castaway who is carrying nothing but a small suitcase containing clothing and a book of fairy tales. They name her Nell and raise her as their own, and only tell Nell her story on her twenty first birthday. Decades later, Nell embarks on a search for the truth that leads her to the Cornish coast and the strange and beautiful Blackhurst Manor, once owned by the aristocratic Mountrachet family. When Nell dies, she leaves her granddaughter Cassandra Cliff Cottage. It and its forgotten garden are notorious among the Cornish locals for the secrets they hold about the doomed Mountrachet family and their ward Eliza Makepeace, a writer of dark Victorian fairy tales. It is here that Cassandra will uncover the truth about the family and finally solve the century old mystery of a little girl lost.
