ReplyDeleteAll of these sound great. I read The Promised World and it is definitely something you need to be in the right mood to read.
ReplyDeleteI almost picked up fearful symetry at Target the other day, but since hadn't read time traveler's wife yet, decided to wait. Now Forgotten Garden looks really interesting. I added it to my amazon wish list and even added a note this time that you recommended it.
