Book Review - The Botanist's Daughter by Kayte Nunn

 



A buried secret...

Present day: Anna is focused on growing her new gardening business and renovating her late grandmother's house. But when she discovers a box hidden in a wall cavity, containing water colours of exotic plants, an old diary and a handful of seeds, she finds herself thrust into a centuries-old mystery. One that will send her halfway across the world to Kew Gardens and then onto Cornwall in search of the truth.

A lady adventurer...

1886: Elizabeth Trebithick is determined to fulfil her father's dying wish and continue his life's work as an adventurer and plant-hunter. So when she embarks on a perilous journey to discover a rare and miraculous flower, she will discover that the ultimate betrayal can be found even across the seas...

Two women, separated by centuries. Can one mysterious flower bring them together?


My Review

I don't usually read different time lines novels, but I made the excerption for this one based on the cover and the blurb. I am so glad I did, this novel is a gripping read - brilliantly written. I could go on and on about how great this novel is, but the best instead I will say this - go out and get yourself a copy of this book. You will not be disappointed.
