Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton

Loved, loved, loved this book.  It gave me the same delicious feeling as when I saw Secret Garden on Broadway.  A return to childhood but with an adult perspective... joy in the escape and the sense of wonder yet with the ability to see how hardships and flaws can affect one's capacity to love.  I loved the nod and wink to Hodgson Burnett; Morton's story is an echo of the original story of a secret garden but with the complex understanding of all that this forgotten garden represents.  I may now have to go back and watch Agnieszka Holland's lush film adaptation of the book or even the Margaret O'Brien classic rendition.
