You won’t forget: The Forgotten Garden (by Sharon Gosling)

#TheForgottenGarden #NetGalley

This is the first novel that I have read by Ms. Gosling. After finishing it, I feel motivated to find and purchase all of her earlier titles.

This book will be enjoyed by those who like women’s fiction and the many who enjoy a good story with sympathetic characters. An additional plus in these pages is thinking about gardens and what they mean to both their creators and those who get to enjoy them.

As the story opens, it is fair to say that Luisa is stuck and not using her talents and imagination fully. She has reason to be despondent and stuck having lost her husband. Readers will hope that she moves forward as she considers a new opportunity.

In addition to following Luisa’s story, readers will get to know others. These include an altruistic man who operates a boxing gym and the young girl who is in his orbit. Their stories come to life along with Luisa’s.

It is very easy to recommend this warm and emotional title. Many thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster UK for this title. All opinions are my own.
