Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. http://bactra.org/weblog/algae-2021-10.html#goodman ( ) Ah yes, I love a ghost story. I love a mystery. This book is similar to "The 13th Tale" but not as thick. It's more light reading, but I really enjoyed it. It was a good follow up to the sweetness of "Standing in the Rainbow". The story centers around a first time author, Ellis, and the book that she is writing at an artists' retreat. The book she's writing is about the events that took place in the late 1800s at the retreat which is a former home and gardens of a local rich family who had a horrible tragedy happen to them. I liked what Carol Goodman did with the writing. One chapter would be what is happening to Ellis and the next chapter would be the book she's writing, or the events that she's writing about. You're never really sure, but that's the fun part. At first I thought it was the book Ellis is writing but then I found that in the following chapter, Ellis would just discover what happened in the previous chapter. If you like ghost stories and you liked The 13th Tale, but don't want something quite as heavy at 13th, maybe a quick read, definitely pick this book up. I think you'll enjoy it. NY estate Bosco — for resident artist colony — old murder — etc. For more than one hundred years, creative souls have traveled to Upstate New York to work under the captivating spell of the Bosco estate. Cradled in silence, inspired by the rough beauty of overgrown gardens and crumbling statuary, these chosen few fashion masterworks–and have cemented Bosco’s reputation as a premier artists’ colony. This season, five talented artists-in-residence find themselves drawn to the history of Bosco, from the extensive network of fountains that were once its centerpiece but have long since run dry to the story of its enigmatic founder, Aurora Latham, and the series of tragic events that occurred more than a century ago. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
In her enthralling novels of literary suspense, Carol Goodman writes stories that resonate with emotion set in lush landscapes that entice the senses. Now, with The Ghost Orchid, a narrative that seamlessly weaves together the past and the present, Goodman creates her most lyrical and haunting work to date. For more than one hundred years, creative souls have traveled to Upstate New York to work under the captivating spell of the Bosco estate. Cradled in silence, inspired by the rough beauty of overgrown gardens and crumbling statuary, these chosen few fashion masterworks-and have cemented Bosco's reputation as a premier artists' colony. This season, five talented artists-in-residence find themselves drawn to the history of Bosco, from the extensive network of fountains that were once its centerpiece but have long since run dry to the story of its enigmatic founder, Aurora Latham, and the series of tragic events that occurred more than a century ago. Ellis Brooks, a first-time novelist, has come to Bosco to write a book based on Aurora and the infamous summer of 1893, when wealthy, powerful Milo Latham brought the notorious medium Corinth Blackwell to the estate to help his wife contact three of the couple's children, lost the winter before in a diphtheria epidemic. But when a séance turned deadly, Corinth and her alleged accomplice, Tom Quinn, disappeared, taking with them the Lathams' only surviving child. The more time she spends at Bosco, the more Ellis becomes convinced that there is an even darker, more sinister end to the story. And she's not alone: biographer Bethesda Graham uncovers stunning revelations about Milo and Corinth; landscape architect David Fox discovers a series of hidden tunnels underneath the gardens; poet Zalman Bronsky hears the long-dry fountain's waters beckoning him; and novelist Nat Loomis feels something lingering just out of reach. After a bizarre series of accidents befalls them, the group cannot deny the connections between the long ago and now, the living and the dead . . . as Ellis realizes that the tangled truth may ensnare them all in its cool embrace.
