לקח לי המון זמן מרגע שקניתי את הספר עד שקראתי אותו. פחדתי קצת שישעמם אותי. אבל - זוהי דוגמה נפלאה לספר בלי עלילה שהוא בכל זאת מרתק. הוא מורכב מסיפורונים קטנים על גינת הבר של שלו, וניתן ממש לראות את האיריסים ולהריח את פריחת הלימון. הוא משעשע וכנה וחכם ואני חושבת שגם אלו שלא מתעניינים בגינון יהנו ממנו.

I think I have discovered a new favorite author. This book was a joy to read from start to finish. It felt like this garden was mine and I loved it just it much. His writing is beautiful and I can’t wait to read more

These nearly poetic essays on his wild garden and all of its inhabitants was delightful It was especially interesting to me that his garden in Israel is really not so different from my wild garden in Wisconsin. Except for the climate zone. yup. I have genuine zone envy.

Thanks to Knopf Books for my ARC
As long as you do not expect this book to be something it's not, it's delightful. It's chock full of beautifully poetic observations, gardening tips, and even a few recipes. But it is very much a series of "notes," not a memoir or anything like that in the traditional sense.
With that being said, the notes do sort of seem to have some sort of logical flow to them. Even if this book just sort of gently bears you along on Shalev's observations, it still feels like a well-ordered, cohesive whole.
