Kate Morton e genul de autoare care are o rețetă clar stabilită atunci când vine vorba despre construcția poveștii: mai multe fire narative, ce se întrepătrund la un moment dat, o muncă de cercetător/jurnalist la mijloc, un mister ce-și are rădăcinile înfipte adânc în trecut. Recent s-a tradus un nou roman la noi, la care voi ajunge și eu la un moment dat, dar până atunci, vă las impresiile mele despre Grădina uitată :)

10 People I'd Like to Know Better

Thanks for the tags @gaiaseyes451 and @beerok23!💜!💜

last song: Gloria by the Lumineers

favourite colour: Red, like a deep luscious red that you know would taste good if you licked it. Don't act innocent, you know exactly what I mean by that. Red is a color that you just know tastes good.

last book: I am currently trying to read the Witcher series (per @lickthecowhappy's suggestion) so I am at the start of the Last Wish

last movie: Moana 2 (I have young kidsssss)

last TV show: My oldest is almost 10 which means she stays up late. Which also means I have so little time to watch adult things. So we've been watching the Office with her. I think I want to watch the Good Place with her next tho (I've never watched it!)

sweet/spicy/savoury: Sweet followed very, very closely by spicy. Habanero maple syrup is one of my favorite things on the planet.

last thing i searched online: How to explain a 10 year career hiatus in a cover letter (looking to return to work since having kids. It's been an interesting experience so far).

current obsession: Have not moved on from Good Omens, but recently realized that my obsession may be more in my own little connected universe of fics that I wrote rather than the actual canon at this point😳. I'm sure once we get that first glimpse of red and white hair that will change very quickly.

looking forward to: Going back to work and having a more established adult life again, honestly. I've been so lucky to be home with my kids while they are young, but I am ready. And figuring out how my newfound passion for writing is going to fit into that new life of mine. Another big year of change over here for me, and I am eagerly looking forward to how the growing pains are going to make way for something beautiful beyond.

ten people i’d like to know better:

@addledmongoose, @di-42, @afrenchwriter, @haemey, @eybefioro, @alwaystuesday, @katspause, @alphacentaurinebula, @shadesofecclescakes, @ochre-sunflower and whoever wants to do it (but also feel free to ignore!)

Había algo en ella, cierta intensidad. La habilidad de hacerte sentir como que no había otro lugar ni otra persona con quien prefiriera estar.

First gouache attempt! A lot of crappy stuff happened, including torn paper on the sides but I am still very happy with the result. There is definitely room to grow 🤣 but the way that paint looks at the end is soooo nice! I love digital but a real peace on a real paper feels sooo different and nice. Or at least makes me feel hiped the first 24 hours! Undo is still a problem but well.. we can't love our lives with undo anyways. This is Eliza Makepeace from a book called The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton.

The Forgotten Garden

The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton

A foundling, an old book of dark fairy tales, a secret garden, an aristocratic family, a love denied, and a mystery. The Forgotten Garden is a captivating, atmospheric and compulsively readable story of the past, secrets, family and memory from the international best-selling author Kate Morton. Cassandra is lost, alone and grieving. Her much loved grandmother, Nell, has just died and Cassandra, her life already shaken by a tragic accident ten years ago, feels like she has lost everything dear to her. But an unexpected and mysterious bequest from Nell turns Cassandra’s life upside down and ends up challenging everything she thought she knew about herself and her family. Inheriting a book of dark and intriguing fairytales written by Eliza Makepeace—the Victorian authoress who disappeared mysteriously in the early twentieth century—Cassandra takes her courage in both hands to follow in the footsteps of Nell on a quest to find out the truth about their history, their family and their past; little knowing that in the process, she will also discover a new life for herself.

“But why must I bring back three strands of the Fairy Queen’s hair?” spoke the young prince to the crone. “Why no other number, why not two or four?”

The crone leaned forward but did not halt her spinning. “There is no other number, my child. Three is the number of time, for do we not speak of past, present and future? Three is the number of family, for do we not speak of mother, father and child? Three is the number of fairy, for do we not speak of them between oak, ash and thorn?”

The young prince nodded, for the wise crone spoke the truth.

“Thus must I have three strands, to weave my magic plait.” – from “The Fairy Plait” by Eliza Makepeace

I first discovered Kate Morton when I picked up her The Lake House from a bookbin at a Costco in the U.K. Somehow the tale of a famous author of mysteries haunted by the disappearance of her youngest brother when she was a teenager, her family’s complicated history and her guilt was just the sort of plot-ty, twisty tale best enjoyed when one was traipsing about the English countryside. I enjoyed the book so much that I’ve been buying Morton’s books one after the other ever since last year.

The Forgotten Garden is my second of her books. It is what I’d call modern gothic, because it has all the hallmarks of a gothic novel – old, crumbling mansion, ancient family secrets, lost or orphaned children, lovely and tragic heroines, old manuscripts… lost treasure, even! There’s even an evil henchman and a greedy landlady! I love it because of all these things. The fact that part of the tale is set in modern times (well, 1975 and 2005) but goes back to early 20th century just adds to the fascination. Read this if you’re into mysteries, delving into family secrets, while imagining yourself smack in the middle of the green English countryside where much of the plot is set.

@eliza-makepeace Oh he would absolutely double major. Maybe triple major, or throw some farrier/horse trainer trade school in there. Considering his Wealthy Nobleman background he’d probably just keep going back to school and get, like, ten different PhDs or Masters degrees in a bunch of subjects.

Also I think in addition to basic history, he’d get super into classical studies in a modern setting. At first it’s because he gets real poetically angsty about figures like Icarus or the Minotaur or Iphigeneia, but then he starts doing archaeological study abroad programs in Crete and gets obsessed with Minoan culture. I think he would try to recreate bull leaping.

I know everyone talks about realizing characters they grew up with in YA media aren’t nearly as Basically An Adult as they seemed to a 12yo reader but. It’s literally JUST NOW hitting me that while Eragon was high-school aged (tackled that realization ages ago), Murtagh… is college aged. Barely. Like, baby-faced freshman in the first book to jaded sophomore/rising junior in Inheritance.

Depending on when his book is set, he’s either a graduating senior or starting grad school (you know he’d do grad school, he’s a nerd).

GIVE THAT TALL CHILD AN ESSAY ASSIGNMENT. GIVE HIM A RESEARCH PROJECT. UNLEASH HIM UPON HIS UNIVERSITY’S JSTOR LOGIN.

«Pero ¿por qué debo traer tres hebras del cabello de la Reina de las Hadas? –preguntó el príncipe a la bruja–. ¿Por qué no otro número, por qué no dos, o cuatro?» La bruja se inclinó hacia delante sin dejar de hilar. «No hay otro número, mi niño. Tres es el número del tiempo, ¿acaso no hablamos de pasado, presente y futuro?. Tres es el número de la familia, ¿acaso no hablamos de madre, padre e hijo? Tres es el número de las hadas, ¿acaso no buscamos entre el roble, la ceniza y la espina?.» El joven príncipe asintió, porque la sabia bruja había hablado con verdad. «Por ello debo poseer tres hebras, para tejer mi trenza mágica.»

La trenza del hada, Eliza Makepeace.
