"Memories, intrigue, and family secrets intertwined in an absorbing maze of complementary plots that drag us into a reading full of strength, tenderness, and emotion. With an agile and captivating style, Kate Morton moves us with a magnificent story hard to forget." Maria Dueñas "Kate Morton, [...] in the tradition of Anglo-Saxon classic literature, is the latest literary phenomenon. [...] Captures readers with a lasso by telling stories in a pleasant, meticulous, Victorian way." El País Semanal "The Forgotten Garden brings together all the elements of a true English romantic novel that appeals to a certain type of readers. [It presents] clear evocations of Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, or the Brönte sisters." La Vanguardia "Kate Morton drags us through three continents in search of the true name of a red-haired girl abandoned on a dock clutching her suitcase. It is the story of a saga of women who did not believe in fairy tales but wrote them." Eugenia Rico "A child protagonist, the historical background of World War I, an absorbing thriller, a dazzling author. Follow Kate Morton." Alex Rovira "Morton has a masterful ability to create mysterious stories in environments reminiscent of legends. When you enter the garden suggested by this novel, you will not want to forget it." Mari Pau Domínguez "I was particularly moved by The Forgotten Garden, in which an unknown author to me, Kate Morton, unfolds a magnificent story written in the style of classics from the 19th century but with a contemporary charm." Concha Quirós, Cervantes Bookstore (Oviedo) "Do not be fooled by the girl with the flower on the cover. The Forgotten Garden is an absorbing mystery novel that traps you in its maze as you try to unravel the secrets of its characters." Silvano Goz.
