Resumen del Editor

The Rose Garden is a richly imagined historical novel full of intrigue and secrets, spanning the luxury and poverty of Victorian England. Perfect for fans of Dinah Jefferies and Rachel Hore.

Every house has its secrets....

For 12-year-old Ottilie Finch, London is an exciting playground to explore. Her family have recently arrived in Hampstead from Durham, under a cloud of scandal that Otty is blissfully unaware of. The only shadow over her days is her mother’s mysterious illness, which keeps her to her room.

When young local girl Mabs is offered the chance to become Mrs Finch’s companion, it saves her from a desperate life on the canals. Little does she know that all is not as picture-perfect as it seems. Mabs is about to become tangled in the secrets that chased the Finches from their last home, and trapped in an impossible dilemma....

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Tracy Rees is a natural storyteller.... What a treat it is!" (Rachel Hore)

"In this engrossing novel, Tracy Rees takes the reader directly into the drama and action, her writing bringing every scene to sparkling vivid life.... Totally unputdownable." (Dinah Jefferies)

No diminishing returns with Tracy Rees

‘Love at first listen’ is how I would characterise any of Tracy’s books. Her stories are never predictable, but enchanting and uplifting. This book is yet another example of her ability to create rich characters with storylines that can stand alone. I love her creative use of words, often combined in unexpected and interesting ways. The narration of this book was outstanding too. Each accent was delivered authentically and could have been an entire cast of different readers. Great story, excellent narration and totally worth the credit.

Another wonderful story by Tracy Rees!
