The Heart of the Garden

De: Victoria Connelly

Narrado por: Jan Cramer

Morton Hall, with its beautiful, ruined grounds and its reclusive mistress, Emilia Morton, is full of mysteries. For freelance editor Anne Marie, the wild garden has become a serene and secret refuge from her loveless marriage. The only other regular visitor is Cape, the hall's part-time gardener, who is forbidden to tend to anything except the magnificent maze or to meet his enigmatic employer.

When Emilia dies, Cape and Anne Marie are astonished to find themselves among an unlikely group of villagers named in her strange will. Morton Hall, including its dazzling art collection and once glorious grounds, can belong to the community forever, but only if they work together to bring the garden back to life within a single year.

As they try to put their differences aside to restore the tangled grounds, long-buried secrets are unearthed. Can the past be forgiven as hope and new love begin to bloom?

Delightful listen...

What an Interesting Cast of characters in this book! I enjoyed Imagining this Amazing Garden that slowly was allowed to run down & the band of misfits that were brought together to bring it back to life...and changed their lives in the process!

Poor narration

This narrator doesn’t understand the importance of intonation. It was difficult to listen to. It was as if she had never read the story prior to reading it aloud. I finished it only for the story. I felt this the last time I heard her. I will avoid her in the future.

Lovely

I truly enjoyed this book and the reader was wonderful. The book leaves you with a good feeling inside at the finish.

Nice

I really liked this one - I follow Jan Cramer the narrator and always check out what she is performing. I really liked the interactions of characters and the unfolding past was tremendous. There was more than enough mystery in this to fulfill a sequel or three so really hope the author does that....

Loved every single bit!

I enjoyed everything about the book! Couldn't put it down. I love that you can picture what is going on , then you want it to become a movie. That to me is a great book.
