Summary
From the author of the bestselling Seven Sisters series, Lucinda Riley's Hothouse Flower is a moving story of love, heartbreak and, above all, hope.
Read by Stephanie Racine (Daisy Darker)
Georgian mansion Wharton Park was a place of childhood solace for Julia Forrester, spending summers in the Norfolk countryside with her beloved grandfather. So after tragedy strikes, she finds herself seeking comfort at Wharton and the allure of its hothouse, once home to exotic flowers from all corners of the globe but now lying abandoned. There she meets the new owner, the charming and magnetic Kit Crawford, whose own past is shrouded in sadness and mystery.
When Kit finds an old diary, light is finally shed on Wharton Park's past – revealing a century of secrets and heartache, through war-torn Europe and taking them to the vibrant streets of Thailand. Drawn together on this quest, Julia and Kit can but hope to unearth the truth behind the fortunes and failures of the Crawford family . . .
'Thoroughly addictive storytelling with a moving, emotional heart' – Dinah Jefferies, author of The Tea Planter's Wife
This title has been published outside the UK under the title The Orchid House.

Fabulous story, well told
I have thoroughly enjoyed this book and can highly recommend it. It is the final Lucinda Riley story for me and I have enjoyed them all. Now I’m going to start again with the Seven Sisters series (my first Lucinda Riley books) and finish with Atlas, the story of Pa Salt. I recommend them all and I’m excited to get going!

loved it
I could not stop listening. As with most of Lucinda Rileys' other books, it grabs you immediately and takes hold until the end. I shed a few tears a few times. Lovely set of intertwined stories and narrated well.

Good listen
loved the book and couldn't put it down. love when a book holds you like that. although for me, the story seemed very familiar. I do wonder if I had read the book before I started to listen to books. nevertheless Lucinda is very good at writing. I have now read all her books. sad there will be no more. pa salt next to finish the seven sisters.

Such A Lovely, Beautiful Story, I So Much Enjoyed!
I loved this beautiful story so much, especially the story of Harry and Lydia. Lucinda Riley had such a gift of writing, there is something about her books that just draws me in and I just don't want to stop listening. It's pure bliss and escapism, and I can never wait to put my earphones back in and start listening again. This is my 6th book of Lucinda's and I have loved them all so much. As it's Christmas I'm just about to start The Angel Tree. I have to add also that the narrator of this book, Stephanie Racine, was also excellent at reading this book, such a lovely voice and read with such emotion. Lucinda has left such a lovely gift behind in this world, her beautiful stories, that I personally will never forget.
