Synopsis
Meet Elizabeth and discover there is no greater happiness to be found than when lost in a wilderness of a garden, with bird cherries, lilacs, hollyhocks and lilies crowding the vision. This is her sanctuary from a host of unreasonable demands, whether from the Man of Wrath (husband), babies, servants and (worst of all horrors) house guests. Plunge into her charming diaries and be warned: you won't be able to remain indoors.

Review
"An extraordinary piece of work...it has a freshness, a freakish charm, an irrepressible energy" (Elizabeth Jane Howard)
"A gem of a book: rare, simple, innocent and charming" (Susan Hill)
"Unusual in the way that the sympathetic female narrator either cheerfully disregarded or, more often than not, gently mocked her husband and family. The book was a wild success and by 1899 it had run through 21 editions." (Independent)
"A witty tale about marrying a richer, older man and finding liberation from a stifling world of elitism through gardening. It was a risky tale for its time, and still feels modern on both love and the garden." (Guardian)
"Delightful" (Evening Standard)
Book Description
Witty, charming, irreverent and irresistible, these are the diaries of Elizabeth - hopeless host, inattentive wife, absent mistress, devoted gardener (though she'll never be seen with a shovel) and wholehearted lover of the great outdoors.
