Narrative Supposing Books The Rose Garden
When Eva's film star sister Katrina dies, she leaves California and returns to Cornwall, where they spent their childhood summers, to scatter Katrina's ashes and in doing so return her to the place where she belongs. But Eva must also confront the ghosts from her own past, as well as those from a time long before her own. For the house where she so often stayed as a child is home not only to her old friends the Halletts, but also to the people who had lived there in the eighteenth century. When Eva finally accepts that she is able to slip between centuries and see and talk to the inhabitants from hundreds of years ago, she soon finds herself falling for Daniel Butler, a man who lived - and died - long before she herself was born. Eva begins to question her place in the present, and in laying her sister to rest, comes to realise that she too must decide where she really belongs, choosing between the life she knows and the past she feels so drawn towards.Point Books During The Rose Garden

I would really have loved to give this 3.5 stars.www.theultimatebooknook.blogspot.comAfter reading The Winter Sea, I knew I had to read more by that author, so I picked this book up.I wanted to love it as much as I did The Winter Sea but sadly I didn't. It was still enjoyable and very well written, it just didn't have the enchantment that The Winter Sea did.Kearsley is a fantastic writer. She brings you into these worlds and makes you feel them. She can bring out so many emotions in just oneI love re-reading (or listening) to old favorites. The only words I can think of for this story, or more importantly the love story are sweet and soft. If I should ever find myself transported back in time I would so love to find me a Daniel Butler.
Eva Ward returns to the Cornish coast to scatter her sister's ashes. Trelowarth House, in the village of Polgelly, Cornwall, is a place filled with summer, childhood memories with the Hallett children Mark and Susan. Agreeing to do the public relations for the Hallett's roses and the future teahouse, she is wrapped up in the work, until one day she fades through centuries to appear in the early eighteenth century. She meets Daniel Butler, a free-trader who supports the Jacobite cause. She fades
Too busy with RL for a proper review but I loved this one. Maybe not quite as much as some of SKs others but it was still captivating and well written. Looking forward to reading more of hers.
That twist! Brilliant! And so cleverly done. I didn't see it coming at all, but the foundation for it had been subtly built throughout the book without my noticing at all. It all just fit so seamlessly into the story. You know when some detail of a book so obviously sets up some plot point later in the book? This was the opposite!I could have wished for the ending to be a bit more flushed out (I love a good reunion scene), but other than that, this was well written, intriguing, character-driven,
The Rose Garden, by Susanna Kearsley is historical fiction. It is time travel. It is romance. It has a twist I did not see coming.Eva Ward's beloved sister has died and she returns to their summer home in England to distribute Katrina's ashes. Strange things start to happen while she is staying at Trelowarth, resting and attempting to recover from her grief. She is transported back to the early 1700's to the Trelowarth of that time. She meets the Butlers and their best friend Fergal. She has no
