Two warring London neighbors unite to resurrect a neglected city
garden in this uplifting and quietly joyful novel by Sara Nisha
Adams, author of the word-of-mouth hit The Reading List. Between
the houses of No.77 and No.79 on Stoke Newington Green in London,
there is a shared garden. It was a beautiful thing once, a little
oasis in a bustling city for neighbors by day and the local foxes
at twilight. Now it's overgrown and neglected, an empty patch of
greenery lost to time. But that suits neighbors Winston and Bernice
just fine--their houses may share the garden, but they're not
exactly neighborly. But one day, a mysterious parcel drops through
Winston's door at No.77. It contains no note, only a bundle of
photographs of the garden in bloom many years ago--vibrant with
flowers and wildlife, filled with people from every corner of the
community. Is someone trying to tell them something? As a seed is
planted. Winston and Bernice lay down their arms and pick up their
gardening gloves. As they dig and plant, scrub and water, the
garden begins to come out of hibernation--and the frostiness
between them slowly begins to thaw. In finding their green fingers,
the unlikely pair also start to hatch a bigger plan--could the
revitalized garden help to revive the community spirit that's been
languishing for so long? With a little help from the secret
gardener sending the parcels, they're determined to find out. Told
with warmth and spirit, The Twilight Garden is a love letter to the
little acts of kindness that can change a life. It's a story of
growth and community, and how when we dig in together, there's
always hope of a brighter future...
