The Poison Garden
Tuesday, 3 November 2009
I am not sure if this book is also a series but this book is really great because it is written with a lot of descriptions...
I usually read books that are related to teenagers lives, but i think it is the time for me to change my style of reading. I can't wait for the other series...
Summary of the book
“It is the 1850’s, and a young boy, Thomas, leaves his family to be apprenticed to a pharmacist, at the behest of his dead grandmother. He also inherits a magical box from her, which provides him entry into a mysterious garden. But while visiting it, he sees a ghostly vision of his grandmother, who tells him she was poisoned, and warns him that he must find the person responsible, and save her precious garden. For she was one of five members of an arcane guild, each of whom cultivated an individual garden, mastering the art of poison, perfume and medicine. The guild members jostle for power as, one by one, they are murdered…can Thomas solve the mystery, before he in turn is threatened?”
I hope those who are reading this post can read this book.
If this actually become a motion picture, it would be really nice...
