I fell in love with the cover and then I fell in love with the story. An engrossing, well written and fascinating piece of historical fiction.
As I'm a keen gardener it made me wish I could visit the Botanical Garden.
I loved what I read: the well researched historical background, the fleshed out characters and the storytelling.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
