Why I wrote this book
I wanted to explore a theme of personal loss, set against a backdrop of national loss i.e. the decades after the Great War. It is the story of a wife whose unhappiness drives her to take up gardening – and thus triggers a process of healing and new understanding which, in the end, brings her what she craves. It was also an opportunity to touch on the intriguing aspects of flowers and plants, particularly the ones that we prize greatly, the lily and the rose.
