The China Garden - Softcover
When Clare moves with her mother from London to Ravensmere, an historic English estate, she can't shake the feeling that the residents already know her, especially Mark, a maddeningly attractive biker. Clare also feels compelled to take midnight walks in Ravensmere's abandoned China Garden. Then her mother reveals that their own past is tragically linked to the estate. But when Clare discovers that Ravensmere is in grave danger, will she risk her future-and Mark's-to save it?

Synopsis:
Clare is chilled by her mother's warnings to stay away from Ravensmere, but she knows she has to go there - it is not a choice but a compulsion. And she only intends to stay a few weeks, anyway, just until she goes to university in the autumn. Ravensmere is a strange, enchanting place, but she grows increasingly disturbed. How come the local villagers appear to know her? Why is she having these odd visions? And who is the attractive, leather-clad stranger who is watching her? What is the Benison and why must she visit the China Garden in the middle of the night? Ravensmewre casts a magical spell, drawing her into a mystery that stretches back over thousands of years. Clare knows that Ravensmere and the valley are in danger and that time is running out - but will she risk her future to save it? In the YA fantasy tradition, but with a strong romance, "The China Garden" is a haunting novel of an ancient legend, family secrets and young love. Liz Berry is at her most readable here, in a heady mixture of myth, romance and mystery.
