About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Welcome to the Winter Garden. Open only at 13 o'clock.

You are invited to enter an unusual competition.

I am looking for the most magical, spectacular, remarkable pleasure garden this world has to offer.

On the night her mother dies, eight-year-old Beatrice receives an invitation to the mysterious Winter Garden. A place of wonder and magic, filled with all manner of strange and spectacular flora and fauna, the garden is her solace every night for seven days. But when the garden disappears, and no one believes her story, Beatrice is left to wonder if it were truly real.

Eighteen years later, on the eve of her wedding to a man her late father approved of but she does not love, Beatrice makes the decision to throw off the expectations of Victorian English society and search for the garden. But when both she and her closest friend, Rosa, receive invitations to compete to create spectacular pleasure gardens - with the prize being one wish from the last of the Winter Garden's magic - she realises she may be closer to finding it than she ever imagined.

Now all she has to do is win.

Loved this book right the way through. One of the most magical and memorable books, I was desperate yet sad to finish it! The narrator was also amazing.

Magical Story

This story reminded me of the Night Circus and there's something of The Ladies of Grace Adieu too. I loved the magical setting and enjoyed the wonders of the gardens. Under the fantasy there's a thoughtful story of women trying to find their place in world. Thoroughly recommended.

Loved it!

I don't normally write reviews but feel compelled to! This is a great story that gave me little magical goosebumps! I really enjoyed the premise and its historical setting felt right.

Very night circus!

I liked the idea of this book but in reality it just wasn't for me. Imagine Jane Austin meets Neil Gaiman. It should have worked but sadly it didn't float my boat.

whimsical but lacked something pretty major

Absolutely loved it. I’m sure other reviewers will like in it to “big books that have been popular over the last few years. And it really stacks up well against other similars in the genre
