The Rose Garden

Another great book by Susanna Kearsley! Makes you feel an array of emotions, loved the main characters. Once I started reading I struggled to put it down.

This book is the reason I got back into reading after nearly 15 years! From the very start to the end I couldnt put it down. Such a amazing book and a even more amazing author!

At times heart wrenching and at others romantic, this is a great read! The pace picks up and drops off a bit, but I think that adds to the story. Never disappointed by this author!

First of all, I know Cornwall quite well, having lived there for over a year, and I feel that Kearsley was writing of a place she knew and loved in her bones. Kearsley writes with heart, and she is able to sweep you along into her story, which demands some suspension of belief, and yet she grounds the more fantastic elements in reality, and gives you vivid pictures of her characters. This book immersed me in a different world, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, and.. bought another of her books. (Which was even better, but that's another review.) She's not Mary Stewart, --I don't think anyone is! - but she would appeal to someone who enjoys Stewart or Michaels.
