Welcome to Bascom,
North Carolina, where it seems that everyone has a story to tell about the Waverley women. The house that's been in the family for generations, the walled garden that mysteriously blooms year round, the rumours of dangerous loves and tragic passions. Every Waverley woman is somehow touched by magic.
Claire has always clung to the Wacerleys' roots, tending the enchanted soil in the family garden from which she makes her sought-after delicacies -
famed and feared for their curious effects. She has everything she thinks she needs -
until one day she wakes to find a stranger has moved in next door and a vine of ivy has crept into her garden...
Claire's carefully tended life is about to run gloriously out of control.
Be enchanted by a delicious international bestseller...
First time that I have read any of Sarah Addison Allen novels and I was thoroughly engrossed from the moment I even saw the front cover. This book and 'Sugar Queen' that Irish has also commented on have the most beautiful covers I've seen in a while... so of course I had to have them... hopeless aren't I! Beautiful written, in it's simplicity of a wonderful story, about family relationships and especially between sisters. I breezed through this novel in a day and just loved everything about it. The two sisters, Claire and Sydney are characters that could easily be any of us and you can relate to either one. It's a real girls novel and one you should share with your best friend or sisters.
No bad language in this one, but there is a bit of sex in it, but very mild and tastefully done.
It's a magically book and I would love to have a garden just like this one.Looking forward to reading her other one.
Truly enjoyable read...
