Over a century later in present-day Sydney, botanist Anna discovers a mysterious metal box among her late grandmother's belongings, containing a sketchbook of dazzling watercolours, a photograph inscribed 'Spring 1886' and a small bag of seeds. The discovery sets Anna on a path away from her carefully ordered life, drawing her into Elizabeth's long-buried story and forcing her to confront her own demons. Meticulously researched, the novel moves fluidly between the two timelines, capturing the sights, scents and dangers of nineteenth-century plant-hunting alongside a modern woman's search for identity and truth. It is a spellbinding blend of discovery, desire and deception that has earned comparisons to the finest dual-timeline storytelling in the genre, and its success has seen it selected as a National English Honour Society Common Reader for 2023\/4, making it as at home in book clubs and classrooms as on the beach or bedside table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAward-winning novel: winner of the 2020 Winston Graham Historical Fiction Prize\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImmersive dual-timeline structure linking Victorian botanical adventure with a present-day mystery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVivid, well-researched settings across Cornwall, Chile and Sydney\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelected as a National English Honour Society Common Reader, ideal for book clubs and students\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand-new paperback edition, compact and easy to carry for travel or gifting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for fans of atmospheric historical fiction, family secrets and botanical intrigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nKayte Nunn is the internationally bestselling author of seven novels, including The Botanist's Daughter, The Forgotten Letters of Esther Durrant, The Silk House, The Last Reunion and The Only Child.
