Synopsis
The sparkling new novel from the bestselling author of 'A Question of Love.' It's never easy putting down new roots! After the sudden death of her mother, Anna Temple realises she needs to live for the moment and pursue her dream of becoming a garden designer. Swapping hedge funds for herbaceous borders, and shares for scented stocks, she says goodbye to City life for a fresh start in the country. But on the eve of her sparkling new future she meets the gorgeous Xan and their chance encounter changes her world in more ways than she could ever imagined -- enter baby Milly. Juggling her new business with the joys and fears of motherhood is a struggle, especially alone and when Anna unearths a long-buried family secret, skeletons tumble from the closet. Suddenly nothing is as it seems, past or present!
Review
Forget me Not is obviously a name of the flower and a very apt title for this book by Isabel Wolf. I was transfixed inside the pages of the book from page one and in fact I read the whole story in a day all 341 pages! Beautifully written with the story line being one that anybody can read and keep pace with.
Anna Temple has decided to leave a job in the city and branch out on her own doing the job she has always wanted to do landscape gardening. On the day she leaves her job she goes out with her friend after her farewell office party to a club and there meets a man who she has a one night stand with and never expects to see again. He does contact her again and so the story begins. She starts her business and joins forces with the nephew of a friend who comes to stay with her for a while and so her business goes from strength to strength.
The title comes about because she has a young daughter who is chosen to play the part of a forget-me-not fairy in her nursery school play. Her daughter is always her first priority even though her business is her livelyhood, the story goes through twists and turns and even at the end you can not really be sure what the outcome will be! Read it and see and I feel sure this will be come one of those books that is the ideal summer read or even a book to curl up with on a cold winters night.
