Kate Morton's The Forgotten Garden
I loved Morton's The House at Riverton and was psyched to see she had another book out--and it didn't disappoint. It's similar to her first one, with people unraveling a mystery from the past, only it flashes back and forth in time a bit more. Anyway, it's about a woman whose grandmother dies, and she takes on the task of unraveling her grandmother's identity after discovering she was shipped alone from England to Australia at the age of four with no papers or clue as to her identity. The flashbacks encompass the grandmother's search, the granddaughter's, and the initial events to great effect, and the story is totally riveting. And yes, there is a reference to The Secret Garden.
