A neglected garden. A cottage that holds a secret. A mysterious
Frenchman (handsome, naturally). A family in need of some love.
These elements are entwined in this heartwarming novel by the
author reviewers consistently compare to Maeve Binchy and Rosamunde
Pilcher.
It begins as Miranda and David Claybourne move into a country
house with a once-beautiful garden. But reality turns out to be
very different from their dream. Soon the latent unhappiness in the
family begins to come to the surface, isolating each family member
in a bubble of resentment and loneliness.
Then an enigmatic Frenchman arrives on their doorstep. With the
wisdom of nature, he slowly begins to heal the past and the
present. But who is he? When Miranda reads about his past in a
diary she finds in the cottage by the garden, the whole family
learns that a garden, like love itself, can restore the human
spirit, not just season after season but generation after
generation.
Wise and winsome, poignant and powerfully moving, "The French
Gardener" is a contemporary story told with an old-fashioned
sensibility steeped in the importance of family and the magical
power of love.
