Two feuding neighbors unite to resurrect a neglected city garden in this uplifting and quietly joyful novel by Sara Nisha Adams, author of the beloved The Reading List.
In a small pocket of London, between the houses of No.77 and No.79 Eastbourne Road, lies a neglected community garden. It was a beautiful thing once, a little oasis in a bustling city for neighbors by day and the local foxes at twilight. Now itâs overgrown and neglected, an empty patch of greenery lost to time.
Once a sanctuary, the gardenâs gate is now firmly closed. And thatâs exactly how Winston at No.79 likes it â anything to avoid Bernice, who has moved in next door with her young son. Their houses may share the garden, but theyâre not exactly neighborly.
But then a mysterious parcel drops on Winstonâs doormat. It contains no note, only a bundle of photographs of the garden in bloom many years agoâvibrant with flowers, filled with people from every corner of the community. Is someone trying to tell them something? The seed of an idea is plantedâŠ
Somewhere out there, a secret gardener made a decades-old promise to keep the communityâs spirit alive. Now itâs time for The Twilight Garden to come out of hibernation.
