Fiction
Lonely and stagnating in a soulless job,
thirty-seven-year-old Marin Ellis is in need of a new start
– but she is not prepared for the one she is given, when,
after her estranged father and his second wife die in a car
accident, she is made guardian of her fifteen-year-old
half-sister Rebecca. The half-sisters are practically
strangers, and their life in Hampshire is stilted and
strange. At Rebecca’s pleading they move to the picturesque
village of Goswell on the Cumbrian coast, settling into the
charming Bower House on the edge of church property. When a door to a walled garden captures Rebecca’s interest,
Marin becomes determined to open it and discover what is
hidden beneath the brambles. She enlists the help of local
gardener Joss Fowler, and together they begin to uncover the
garden’s surprising secrets. In 1919, nineteen-year-old Eleanor Sanderson, daughter of
Goswell’s vicar, is grieving the loss of her beloved brother
Walter, killed just days before the Armistice was signed. As
winter passes into spring, her mood remains bleak despite
her attempts to alleviate the emptiness she feels. When her
father decides to hire someone to help Eleanor restore the
once beloved, but now neglected, vicarage gardens, she is
enchanted by the possibility of a new garden—and the
gardener her father hires, Yorkshireman Jack Taylor. Jack
understands the nature of Eleanor’s grief more than anyone
else seems to, and as they spend time together, a
surprising—and unsuitable—friendship unfolds...
