About this listen

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.

Great interwoven yarn as usual

I love reading about other cultures and histories cleverly interwoven into a beautiful, unpredictable- in places- romance.

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.

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!

Very Good Story

This was very compulsive listening until nearly end Then it dragged a bit . Sadly not one that you could hear twice as knowing the end all the way through would definitely spoil it
