The Italian Garden: The perfect historical fiction to fall in love with this spring! Kindle Edition

by Charlotte Betts (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 62 ratings

Lake Como, 1919.
The garden of Villa Marchese was once a sight to behold. Now, overgrown and unloved, the flowers that once bloomed are nothing but a reminder of the tragic events of Flora Marchese's death.

When horticulturist Violet Honeywell is commissioned to restore the once exquisite garden, she immediately accepts and sets off on a life-changing adventure.

Violet instantly becomes enchanted by the Italian way of life, and under the beguiling warmth of the Bellagio sun, she falls in love with a man who can never truly be hers - Flora's grandson.

But when a discovery at the Lake uncovers buried truths that have haunted the family for decades, Violet starts to delve deeper into the dark secrets of their past, and she quickly begins to realise that not everything in the Marchese family is what it seems . . .

    5.0 out of 5 stars What a setting!

    I've read several novels by Charlotte Betts and this certainly didn't disappoint.
    I know nothing about gardening but after reading The Italian Garden, I felt quite knowledgeable and almost ready to put on a pair of gardening gloves! This is a wonderful story in a beautiful overgrown Italian garden and it made perfect relaxing bedtime reading. That is not to say that everything goes gently and swimmingly for the heroine - not a bit of it. I won't give anything away but do read it. I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

    Dual time line story that intrigues throughout as well as having a romantic plot too. Like all her stories there is incredible detail about past times that I find fascinating. It also reminded me of summers spent in Italy too.

    Another page turner! Charlotte brings the sights, sounds and scents to life in this book. You can imagine Floras garden like you were walking through it yourself. A truly magical tale.
