About this listen

The new novel by Sunday Times best seller Harriet Evans will enchant her fans with this gripping and heartbreaking tale of a family ripped apart and the extraordinary house they called home. Harriet writes the most delicious, epic stories from the heart since Maeve Binchy and Kate Morton. 

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. For who would choose to destroy what they love most? Whether Ned's masterpiece - or, in Juliet's case, her own children's happiness. 

Something shattered this corner of paradise. But what?

Critic reviews

"Reminiscent of Santa Montefiore with the emotional heart of Jojo Moyes. You'll frequently find yourself uttering the words: just one more page." (CultureFly)

"Will make you gasp and move you to tears." (Marie Claire)

I have not been so obsessed with a book for years and listening on Audible made it even more real!

What a brilliant story, I loved the weaving back and forth between the points in time and the characters were like my own family by the end!

Well recommended...

Really enjoyed this audio book, engaging characters and a picture of different sides to both family life and soldiering in WW1, contrasted well with difficulties faced today.
Gave it 4 story stars as it seemed to end unsatisfactorily...

Didn’t want to finish this

Wonderful story that engages you from the beginning. The characters are rounded, not perfect but very real.

Wonderful story and beautiful characters

While the story is imaginative and draws you in, both threads (historical and current) made me more depressed by the hour. I finished it feeling thoroughly miserable! No spoilers obviously but I now need to cheer myself up with something more uplifting and optimistic.
I sometimes got confused where I was (in time), but the beautiful narration usually gave a clue, with accent and inflection. I loved characters such as Frederick, but the modern day children were both irritating and horrible! Wouldn't recommend, sadly.

So depressing!!

I have totally enjoyed this book. Mixing history and modern day it winds you into the title.
I would recommend it to anyone.
