Summary

The new novel by Sunday Times best seller Harriet Evans will enchant her fans with this gripping and heartbreaking tale of a family ripped apart and the extraordinary house they called home. Harriet writes the most delicious, epic stories from the heart since Maeve Binchy and Kate Morton.

Nightingale House, 1919. Liddy Horner discovers her husband, the world-famous artist Sir Edward Horner, burning his best known painting, The Garden of Lost and Found, days before his sudden death.

Nightingale House was the Horner family's beloved home - a gem of design created to inspire happiness - and it was here Ned painted The Garden of Lost and Found, capturing his children on a perfect day, playing in the rambling Eden he and Liddy made for them.

One magical moment. Before it all came tumbling down....

When Ned and Liddy's great-granddaughter Juliet is sent the key to Nightingale House, she opens the door onto a forgotten world. The house holds its mysteries close, but she is in search of answers. For who would choose to destroy what they love most? Whether Ned's masterpiece - or, in Juliet's case, her own children's happiness.

Something shattered this corner of paradise. But what?

Critic reviews

"Reminiscent of Santa Montefiore with the emotional heart of Jojo Moyes. You'll frequently find yourself uttering the words: just one more page." (CultureFly)

"Will make you gasp and move you to tears." (Marie Claire)

The Garden of Lost and Found - utterly brilliant

I have not been so obsessed with a book for years and listening on Audible made it even more real!

What a brilliant story, I loved the weaving back and forth between the points in time and the characters were like my own family by the end!

Well recommended...

Beautiful story

Evocative and descriptively written, a beautiful story of one family passing through generations. Joy and tragedy intermingle, finding resonance in our own lives.. Absolutely engaging and enjoyable, I strongly recommend!

Wonderful

Gorgeous language and fascinating switch between past and present. Believe in the characters and strong women throughout. Gradual reveal of the past works well. Loved it. Narrator generally excellent but in modern narrative tone tended to have odd flat intonation at times which was only very slight detraction from otherwise flawless audiobook

Flawless

This book is beautifully written and the narration is perfectly executed, leaving the listener to follow the rich plot lines without distraction. Although the readers mellifluous voice is immediately apparent, soft and lilting with an almost musical quality It's only at the end you realise that although there were many accents and both genders nothing jars.

The writing is masterful, whilst keeping the listener inthralled it is still possible to appreciate how skilful the author is, I was absolutely absorbed in the world she had created.
