Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling authors Karen White, Beatriz Williams, and Lauren Willig present a masterful collaboration - a rich, multigenerational novel of love and loss that spans half a century....

It's 1945: When the critically wounded Captain Cooper Ravenal is brought to a private hospital on Manhattan's Upper East Side, young Dr. Kate Schuyler is drawn into a complex mystery that connects three generations of women in her family to a single extraordinary room in a Gilded Age mansion. Who is the woman in Captain Ravenel's portrait miniature who looks so much like Kate? And why is she wearing the ruby pendant handed down to Kate by her mother? In their pursuit of answers, they find themselves drawn into the turbulent stories of Gilded Age Olive Van Alen, driven from riches to rags, who hired out as a servant in the very house her father designed, and Jazz Age Lucy Young, who came from Brooklyn to Manhattan in pursuit of the father she had never known. But are Kate and Cooper ready for the secrets that will be revealed in the Forgotten Room?

The Forgotten Room, set in alternating time periods, is a sumptuous feast of a novel brought to vivid life by three brilliant storytellers.

Surprising

This was a very entertaining audio book. Some twists and turns were unexpected. A wonderful not sappy story of love.

Up my alley....

I thought this book was wonderful. Loved the history. I like to follow the lives of others way back when and listen to the twists, turns, and secrets. Was different listening to the time periods go back and forth, but I got used to it. Nice narration too. Great job writing this one ladies!

A great love story

I enjoyed this so much! The story spanned 3 generations and the skillful way the narrative switched back and forth among them kept me riveted, wanting to know how it would turn out for each of them.

A bit above average

So, I see that I am in the minority here .... I didn't find anything particularly special about this book, other than that it toggles back and forth between generations. The point of the book seems to be in the parallels between the time periods, however it was for that reason that i grew somewhat bored after a time. Still, a good listen, since the characters all well drawn.

Three Generations of Love Stories with a Mystery

At the beginning I didn't get the connections, therefore the mystery. There was a plot that unfolded easily while learning the history of each woman. It was thoroughly enjoyable. Narration was good except for one who was relatively too loud but tolerable.
