Description

In a small house in Auvergne, far from the noise of the city, Amanda finds what she so desperately lacked after the tragedy she has lived through: silence and solitude. While going through the belongings of the previous owner, Madame Hugues, she stumbles upon garden calendars with handwritten notes. Following these clues from the past, Amanda, step by step, brings a neglected garden back to life: she sows in the beds, grows flowers, and rejoices in the first harvest of apples. And as the buds bloom and the fruit ripens, hope rises in her again.

Unexpected visitors and getting to know the locals—new encounters gradually give her days meaning and warmth. Melissa Da Costa, whose distinctive voice has won readers in many countries, has written a bright story about how nature and other people’s involvement help one heal—and one you’ll want to read through to the very last page.
