The Rose Garden is a richly imagined historical novel full of intrigue and secrets, spanning the luxury and poverty of Victorian England. Perfect for fans of Dinah Jefferies and Rachel Hore.

Every house has its secrets....

For 12-year-old Ottilie Finch, London is an exciting playground to explore. Her family have recently arrived in Hampstead from Durham, under a cloud of scandal that Otty is blissfully unaware of. The only shadow over her days is her mother’s mysterious illness, which keeps her to her room.

When young local girl Mabs is offered the chance to become Mrs Finch’s companion, it saves her from a desperate life on the canals. Little does she know that all is not as picture-perfect as it seems. Mabs is about to become tangled in the secrets that chased the Finches from their last home, and trapped in an impossible dilemma....

‘Love at first listen’ is how I would characterise any of Tracy’s books. Her stories are never predictable, but enchanting and uplifting. This book is yet another example of her ability to create rich characters with storylines that can stand alone. I love her creative use of words, often combined in unexpected and interesting ways. The narration of this book was outstanding too. Each accent was delivered authentically and could have been an entire cast of different readers. Great story, excellent narration and totally worth the credit.

There were times that the story seemed to get bogged down but it was worth hearing through it all. I like Tracy Rees as an author. She develops her characters very well and makes complicated stories. It’s a good listen.

Worth the listen

As a rule, I love Tracy Ree’s stories, but in this one, it is my opinion that she tried to tackle too many social issues in one story: adoption, women’s rights, racism, male dominance, and class distinctions. The neatly tied up situations at the end seemed rather improbable. That said, I still enjoyed the story for the most part.

Sweet, but Unlikely

It was a little hard in the beginning to keep the main characters straight as they were introduced one at a time, but other than that, I loved the entire book. It was a little suspenseful and it had a very unexpected ending. I can't wait to listen to it again.

Enjoyed the story, though at times the narrator was a bit overdone. Would recommend it.
