### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Story!
*by J***E on 14 August 2019*

This story is slightly different to the usual books I would read. It has much focus on plants. The story moves between 2 different time periods - late 1880s and 2017. Elizabeth is the daughter of the Victorian Botanist, John Trebithick. They reside at Trebithick Hall in Cornwall. John made several voyages across the world in search of rare plants to bring back to England. Elizabeth fulfils her father's dying wish for her to go in search of a very rare plant which grows in South America. She makes the perilous journey to Chile accompanied only by her maid, Daisy. In 2017 an old decorative metal box is discovered by workmen in the wall of a house whilst being renovated. This house in Sydney was inherited by Anna who has her own gardening business. The box contains a sketchbook of plants, a notebook and some seeds. Anna researches her family tree to try to unravel the mystery of the box. Her search takes her to London and Cornwall. The story takes a lot of unexpected turns. I really enjoyed reading it but I felt that it ended quite abruptly. I was left wondering if Anna settled in England or did she return to Australia. Also did her relationship with Ed from Kew Gardens develop any further.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good twist at the end
*by H***H on 20 November 2019*

My first impression of this book is just how well written it is, it is beautifully presented and the story is easily woven, it is brought to life in the imagination.We go back and forwards between Cornwall in 1880s and Sydney in 2017, with both characters young women who have suffered a recent loss.Lizzie is charged with looking for a plant with wonderous and very dangerous qualities called the devils trumpet. I enjoyed the plot straight away, and couldn’t wait to continue reading, though I did find the middle of the book quite boring and a bit of a trudge to get through, felt like they were on that boat forever!The blossoming relationship between Tomas and Lizzie is sweet and beguiling, the parallels between the two main characters was a nice touch though became a little predictable.The twist at the end shocked me as I did not see it coming at all, I felt the mystery was intriguing, interesting and had a sweet ending!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clever plot, delightful
*by A***T on 15 September 2021*

This is a well crafted storyline set in the 1800s (Chile and Cornwall) and in the present day (Sydney Australia and Cornwall). It was especially enjoyable for me as I am a keen gardener although I don't think you would need to know anything about plants to enjoy the book. The pages 'turned' easily and I was never bored. There was one tiny thing that perhaps should have been picked up at the editing stage where the main female character towards the end of the book is in conversation with an elderly lady (won't spoil it by saying who) when she professes not to know where the bad guy fits into the story but then says she 'forgot to say' and does appear to know without any explanation by the author in between. Slightly confusing but certainly didn't take away from a lovely book. I will definitely read more by this author.
