"Welcome to the Winter Garden. Open only at 13 o'clock." On the night her mother dies, 8-year-old Beatrice receives an invitation to the mysterious Winter Garden. A place of wonder and magic, filled with all manner of strange and spectacular flora and fauna, the garden is her solace every night for seven days. But when the garden disappears, and no one believes her story, Beatrice is left to wonder if it were truly real. Eighteen years later, on the eve of her wedding to a man her late father approved of but she does not love, Beatrice makes the decision to throw off the expectations of Victorian English society and search for the garden. But when both she and her closest friend, Rosa, receive invitations to compete to create spectacular pleasure gardens - with the prize being one wish from the last of the Winter Garden's magic - she realises she may be closer to finding it than she ever imagined. Now all she has to do is win... Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

This book promised magic and intrigue and fairytales come to life. Unfortunately it didn't deliver. Due to the hugely overstated feminist tones of this book I had absolutely no interest in either of the typically feminist main characters. This world fell flat for me because there were barely any glimpses of the "magic". This book could have been absolutely magical but it just held no allure for me. It's basically feminist propaganda parading around as a historical fiction fantasy and I regret the time I spent reading it.
