On My Nightstand

I thought I would try and post weekly on my current book read, so here goes the first one (let’s see how long I can keep this up).

This week I am reading “The Forgotten Garden” by Kate Morton. This is a book club choice, and a great one, so far I am about 2/3 of the way through the book and loving it. Here is a synopsis taken from the back of the book:

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 dock master and his wife and raised as their own. On her twenty –first birthday, they tell her the truth and with her sense of self shatter and very little to go on, “Nell” sets out to trace 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. A spellbinding tale of mystery and self-discovery, The Forgotten Garden will take hold of your imagination and never let go.


I would love to know what is on your nightstand currently, post it on your blog or as a comment here.
