Clean, tight, unmarked; very light wear to edges; otherwise very minimal wear; It's spring 1941 and London is being destroyed by the Blitz, Gwen Davis, a young horticulturist, leaves her beloved city for the Devon countryside, where she will instruct a group of girls in growing crops for the home front. There, on a beautiful but neglected country estate that seems strangely removed from the realities of war, she meets two people who will change her life forever: Raley, a Canadian officer awaiting posting to the front with his men; and Jane, a frail but free spirit whose fiance is missing in action. The Lost Garden is a triumph of story telling, a novel so delicately wrought and word-perfect, so exquisite in the rendering of loss that it takes your breath - and your heart - completely away. - from the dust jacket
