Loved it clever and actually believable - lots of flawed characters heaps of plot twists perfect for a hot wind weekend

Had to keep repeating

Just left me a bit depressed about humanity. All the characters were horrible - no joy or optimism and the fate of new generation was pretty grim

Good but feels rushed in the ending

Revisado: 09-21-18

I adore Kate Mortons books they make me cry, make me feel and normally I am bewitched by them. This book does not have the same appeal and I am so sorry. Joannes narration is as always amazing, but the story has too many stories within stories that never get resolved - maybe thats the intention but it does result in a constant flicking back and forth.

The concept is brilliant and the setting are part of my childhood so i so wanted to fall in love with this book - but honestly Kate Forsyths Beauty in Thorns by far addresses the era of art and photography more poignantly.

It is still a lovely book but just not on the same par of The Forgotten Garden and Kates previous books which I recommend constantly to friends.

I just didn't feel this book finished itself to many weird loose ends and lost focus somewhat

Still adore Kates writings

So clever so dark and so riveting

If I made films this book would be a fabulous movie. It doesn’t disappoint and could easily have a book 2 but I hope not it leaves a big question mark but in a complete way.

If you like gone girl or dead bodies this is one for you

narrator dreadful

school board

Any additional comments?

it was so trite dealing with a serious issue this book was not particularly good, but what was worse was the snobby narration - just really inappropriate why get a good english narrator to pretend to be irish! it was really hard to listen to the in between stuff which made the book real. will not load down any other books with this narrator unless written by enid blyton or Julian Fellowes!!
