But the forest still holds its secrets, and the uncertainties which Nell and her cousins come to experience can only be satisfied when the mystery is revealed. Passion, loss, tragedy and new beginnings - a moving and heartwarming new novel from the well-loved and bestselling author of "The Pumpkin Coach".

2006-01-30 Worst Book I`ve Ever Read

I hate to give bad reviews, but I have been a keen reader for 40 years and this is without doubt the worst book I have ever read. I persevered and read it to the end just in case it picked up but it didn`t. I was so annoyed at having wasted time and money on it I actually threw it in the bin when I finished it, something I have never done before to a book.
The plot was pointless,boring and uneventful and the characters were weak and nondescript.
I really cannot say anything positive about this book, however this is only my opinion and peoples tastes vary.
