Summary

From the author of the bestselling Seven Sisters series, Lucinda Riley's Hothouse Flower is a moving story of love, heartbreak and, above all, hope.

Read by Stephanie Racine (Daisy Darker)

Georgian mansion Wharton Park was a place of childhood solace for Julia Forrester, spending summers in the Norfolk countryside with her beloved grandfather. So after tragedy strikes, she finds herself seeking comfort at Wharton and the allure of its hothouse, once home to exotic flowers from all corners of the globe but now lying abandoned. There she meets the new owner, the charming and magnetic Kit Crawford, whose own past is shrouded in sadness and mystery.

When Kit finds an old diary, light is finally shed on Wharton Park's past – revealing a century of secrets and heartache, through war-torn Europe and taking them to the vibrant streets of Thailand. Drawn together on this quest, Julia and Kit can but hope to unearth the truth behind the fortunes and failures of the Crawford family . . .

'Thoroughly addictive storytelling with a moving, emotional heart' – Dinah Jefferies, author of The Tea Planter's Wife

When the email came into my inbox of a new Lucinda Book, I hurriedly purchased, not realizing at the time I had already had the book under a different cover in my library.

It was still a wonderful book, and I was happy to listen to it again.

I do have a question however, now that I have had this book twice, the adult body found at the crash site believed to be the husband. Who was it?

re release, accidental enjoyment of re read

it was a great family saga, but didn't think they needed the part when she returned to France. The rest of the story was great.

Great saga, Dragged on at the end though.
