The Locked Garden

Description
1946, Okborn village.
Alice Rayne is Stephen’s wife, the heir to the crumbling Okborn Hall. Once kind and calm, he comes home quite different: withdrawn, embittered, worn out, and surrounded by secrets that Alice can only guess at. Feeling lonely and frightened by the man her husband has become, she still tries to keep the marriage afloat and prevent Okborn Hall from falling into complete decline. She begins with the walled garden—and soon notices how a fruit takes shape there; along with it, a new feeling is born in her life.
“What happens when the war ends? How do you go on living after what you had to see—and perhaps even do? Hardy thoughtfully and confidently considers these difficult questions. Tears are unavoidable, but this atmospheric book is well worth it”—Woman Home
