![]() Overall rating for this book was about a 4.5 stars, although some more than others in the group shared how impressed they were with the complex yet natural writing style and the amazing amount of suspense built as the mysteries of Nell's and then Eliza's pasts were slowly unfurled. ![]() what items will you pass on to tell your story? Makes you think what items have been handed down to you that tell a story of a relative in the past? (see a few of mine at the bottom of this post) and then. We then discussed how each of these items, as well as other objects mentioned, held stories about the people whose lives they touched, stories that were revealed only piece by piece in the book. Those 9 objets were: a silver brush, an old fashioned white dress, bundle of papers tied with a blue ribbon, black and white sketch of a woman under a stone arch, envelopes, notebook full of paper (Nell's journal), brochures (from travels), an old photograph, Book of Magical tales for boys and girls. One game was to name the 7 possible Fairytales written by Eliza Makepeace, and the other was to list the 9 items Cassandra found in Nells' little white suitcase. A couple of games were played to start out the night and to hand out fantasticly themed prizes. Kelly did a fantastic job of moderating and immersing us in a forgotten garden fairy tale. ![]()
