There is the mysterious French gardener who shows up to help Miranda bring Ava’s gardens back to life after years of neglect; there are the varied and wonderfully drawn local characters, each of whom weaves their magic on Miranda and the reader; there is the story of Ava and her family and what she sacrifices to protect them; and there is the story of the Claybournes who have lost their way and almost lose each other. I don't know if her writing foreshadowed events to come or if it was stereotypical and formulaic, but I've decided to give her the benefit of doubt even with the incredibly handsome frenchman, adulterous husband, betrayal, heart wrenchng love, family honor, etc.She read Spanish and Italian at Exeter University and spent much of the 90s in Buenos Aires, where her mother grew up. As Miranda’s husband drifts apart with his busy work schedule in the city during the week, she finds herself discovering the beauty of her children and family life in the country.

You see, Peter, the old gardener, had died years before and they hadn’t hired anyone to replace him.
