Le Jardin des secrets

A young girl is found abandoned on a ship bound for Australia in 1913, with no memory of her past, carrying only a small suitcase and a book of fairy tales. Adopted and raised as Nell, her world shatters on her twenty-first birthday when she learns the truth of her origins. This revelation sends her on a lifelong quest to uncover her identity, leading her to the windswept Cornish coast and the secrets of Blackhurst Manor, home to the aristocratic Mountrachet family and the enigmatic author of dark Victorian fairy tales, Eliza Makepeace.

Decades later, in 2005, Nell's granddaughter, Cassandra, inherits a mysterious cottage and the same book of fairy tales, prompting her to continue the search for answers that Nell began. As Cassandra delves into the past, she unearths a century of family secrets, entwining the fates of three women across generations and exploring themes of identity, loss, and the enduring power of stories. Discover the intricate layers of a forgotten past and the truths hidden within a mysterious garden.
