Inga Karlson died in a fire in New York in the 1930s, leaving behind three things: a phenomenally successful first novel, the scorched fragments of a second book - and a literary mystery that has captivated generations of readers. Nearly 50 years later, Brisbane bookseller Caddie Walker is waiting in line to see a Karlson exhibition featuring the famous fragments when she meets a charismatic older woman. The woman quotes a phrase from the Karlson fragments that Caddie knows does not exist - and yet to Caddie, who knows Inga Karlson’s work like she knows her name, it feels genuine.

Publisher's Summary
In Victorian England, headstrong adventuress Elizabeth takes up her late father's quest for a rare, miraculous plant. She faces a perilous sea voyage, unforeseen dangers and treachery that threatens her entire family.
In present-day Australia, Anna finds a mysterious metal box containing a sketchbook of dazzling watercolours, a photograph inscribed 'Spring 1886' and a small bag of seeds. It sets her on a path far from her safe, carefully ordered life and on a journey that will force her to face her own demons.
In this spellbinding botanical odyssey of discovery, desire and deception, Kayte Nunn has so exquisitely researched 19th-century Cornwall and Chile you can almost smell the fragrance of the flowers, the touch of the flora on your fingertips....
Critic Reviews
"I was transported to the 1880s and Chile, to contemporary Sydney and Kew. A gripping, warm-hearted read." (Joy Rhoades, author of The Woolgrower's Companion)

Caroline Lee is superb! But the story not so much
I immediately buy every single audiobook that Caroline Lee narrates -- she is my all-time favorite narrator. I absolutely adore the novels by Kate Morton, Kimberley Freeman, Belinda Alexander, and some of the other Australian authors who write such gorgeous stories that weave together the past and the present. So naturally, I dove in eagerly, expecting this to be one of them. Unfortunately, it's just not. It's pretty boring. The plot moves sooooo slowly without much excitement or mystery or build-up, and the character development is weak. I wasn't enthralled with Elizabeth's story, and Anna's was just as dull. What a sad disappointment. I always feel badly giving negative reviews, but save your credit. I love Ms. Lee so much that I pushed my way through it, but ultimately, I gave up about half-way through. I just didn't care what happened, and I was completely bored. If you're looking for something similar to Kate Morton, sadly this just isn't it. And if you're a fan of Caroline Lee, wait for her next book to come out. As usual she was brilliant, yet I can't help but to wonder if she was just as bored recording this as I was reading it.

I enjoyed this book. I had not previously read any books by this author, and was pleasantly surprised. The story had a humorous quality about it in both past and present. Though sometimes tragic, the story constantly evolves, keeping the readers guessing. My favorite narrator, Caroline Lee does a wonderful job keeping her audiance engaged.

Genealogical fiction not Historical fiction
I would have given this 2 stars, though it was dull, but it ended so abruptly. Jumps between stories with no historical detail.Chili 1880's, Cornwall without a coast (except the love cove). Where's the history? More like the Hallmark channel.

Worth a listen
Good book. Not particularly well written - but the story grabs you if you can get through the first part of it. The accents aren’t great but there aren’t many of them so it’s ok. It is very Anglo-centric - there is no interest in tracing the SAmerican family - not sure why? I enjoyed it.

Just okay
This one was a struggle for me. I wanted to like it but ultimately I found it dreary and predictable. I had just finished 'Mrs Benson's Beetle' which was exciting and heartwarming. This novel is different and shouldn't be compared just because the subject matter is similar. I may come back to try again after a break.
The narrator is normally someone I like to listen to but she struggles with accents. I think this book would have been better with two narrators. Someone British for the past and Caroline Lee for the present.
