Summary

Random House presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of A Secret Garden by Katie Fforde, read by Helen Johns.

Lorna is a talented gardener, and Philly is a plantswoman. Together they work in the grounds of a beautiful manor house in the Cotswolds. They enjoy their jobs and are surrounded by family and friends. But for them both, the door to true love remains resolutely closed. So when Lorna is introduced to Jack at a dinner party and Lucien catches Philly's eye at the local farmers market, it seems that dreams really can come true, and happy endings lie just around the corner....

But do they? Troublesome parents, the unexpected arrival of someone from Lorna's past, and the discovery of an old and secret garden mean their lives are about to become a lot more complicated.

The deliciously romantic new novel from the number one Sunday Times best-selling author of A Vintage Wedding, Recipe for Love and A French Affair.

A perfect story for me.

This book had all the elements I love in life. Romance, gardening, plants & flowers, cake. I adored the characters and enjoyed the story with it's twists and turns. I love that Lorna was a similar age to me and I could really relate to her. The narrator was quite good too.

A bit twee.

And they all lived happily ever after. A. It thin- lacking in psychological insights, or something that would make the story more pithy. I did enjoy it & would look at what other books this author has written. Narration OK.

Another comfy read from Katie Fforde

Would you consider the audio edition of A Secret Garden to be better than the print version?

I enjoyed the use of accents and found the story very addictive

What about Helen Johns’s performance did you like?

Great use of accents

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No but always wanted to read on for a bit longer

Any additional comments?

I love Katie's books. A lovely escape.
