Description
The Orchid House is a sweeping and poignant novel by Lucinda Riley, spanning from the 1930s to the present day. Set against the backdrop of the Wharton Park estate in England and Thailand during World War II, the story follows a concert pianist and the aristocratic Crawford family as they uncover shocking secrets that lead to devastating consequences.
As a child, the protagonist spent idyllic hours in the estate's hothouse, where her grandfather tended exotic orchids. Years later, she returns to this tranquil place, seeking solace and reunion with her past. There, she discovers an old diary that sets her on a journey to learn the truth behind a love affair that almost destroyed the estate.
The novel alternates between the magical world of Wharton Park and Thailand during World War II, filled with twists and turns, passions, and lies. Ultimately, it is a story of redemption, love, and the power of the past to shape our present.
