Book Synopsis:
The brilliant new novel from Top Five Sunday Times bestselling author Trisha Ashley
All Marnie wants is somewhere to call home. Mourning lost years spent in a marriage that has finally come to an end, she needs a fresh start and time to heal. Things she hopes to find in the rural west Lancashire village her mother always told her about.
With nothing but her two green thumbs, Marnie takes a job as a gardener, which comes with a little cottage to make her own. The garden is beautiful – filled with roses, lavender and honeysuckle – and only a little rough around the edges. Which is more than can be said for her next-door neighbour, Ned Mars.
Marnie remembers Ned from her college days but he’s far from the untroubled man she once knew. A recent relationship has left him with a heart as bruised as her own.
Can a summer spent gardening help them recapture the forgotten dreams they’ve let get away?
The Garden Of Forgotten Wishes is available in ebook and hardback now. You can purchase your copy using the link below.
My Review:
This was a wonderful book of pure escapism which I absolutely loved as restoring a garden has always been a bit of a dream of mine!
I absolutely loved the descriptions of the garden which made me feel I was actually there and able to smell all the beautiful flowers. I found myself wishing I could actually visit it as it sounded like a amazing place to just relax. The information on how to restore a garden and what you needed to do was very interesting and I can’t wait to work on my own garden soon.
Marnie was a fantastic main character who I warmed to quickly as her little quirky ways and sayings were very amusing. The conversations she had with her cat Casper were particularly cute and made me smile as I read them. The author cleverly includes small references to characters and places from her other books which, as a huge fan, I found particularly nice as it made me feel more included into the story.
Overall I absolutely loved this wonderful book and found myself trying to make the book last a bit longer as I really didn’t want it to end.
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Transworld for my copy of this book via Netgalley.
