Words cannot express how dear this book has become to me over the time I have read it. Meir Shalev's love for his garden is beautiful and contagious even, and his wit is like no other. I found myself laughing more than i expected to, and was utterly delighted by the heart and warmth that poured out of every page in this wonderful book. Despite having no experience in gardening, I enjoyed every moment of reading this book and it's definitely one I'll revisit in the future.
I am not saying this is the best book I’ve read this year (2021) but it is certainly the one I’ve enjoyed the most. I savored this book in a way I haven’t savored a book in a long while. And because I borrowed a copy from the library, I am now aching to own a copy for myself. The writing was delicious and the illustrations were gorgeous. The marriage of gardening and writing (although you need not be a gardener nor a writer to enjoy this marvelous book) was a sheer delight.
