Nightingale House, 1919.
Liddy Horner discovers her husband, the world-famous artist Sir Edward Horner, burning his best-known painting The Garden of Lost and Found days before his sudden death.
Nightingale House was the Horner family's beloved home - a gem of design created to inspire happiness - and it was here Ned painted The Garden of Lost and Found, capturing his children on a perfect day, playing in the rambling Eden he and Liddy made for them.
One magical moment. Before it all came tumbling down...
When Ned and Liddy's great-granddaughter Juliet is sent the key to Nightingale House, she opens the door onto a forgotten world. The house holds its mysteries close but she is in search of answers.
Something shattered this corner of paradise. But what?

Well well, my first book in the New Year and what a mistake..
Again I was hooked by a title - imagining a special garden. Even when it turned out that this meant a picture it was still ok. But the story.. oh my.
Soo depressing! and this in both timelines!
Besides this I honestly didn't like Juliet. She was just like her daughter Bea said: you never listen! you turn everything into a joke!
One of the rare books where I skipped a lot and just read the end to see whether I missed something (I didn't!).
I could write more but why waste my time with a book like this..
Passing this one on via bookmooch... hope you'll like it better!
