The book is set partly in Queensland and partly in Cornwall and follows three generations of women to solve the mystery of a little girl lost. I am a person who reads for setting, among other things, and I wasn't loving the book until it moved from Australia to Cornwall and then I loved it. There is family scandal, upper and lower classes, ghosts, houses and gardens from the late 1800s until the present, in Brisbane, London and Cornwall. You can borrow The Forgotten Garden from the fiction section of Wagga Wagga City Library as well as Kate Morton's first book, The Shifting Fog but you may have to wait for that one as it it is on reserve for me :)
