This book was simultaneously not what I expected and exactly what I was expecting.

The author is such a brilliant writer, crafting the story so perfectly from start to finish. I cried a lot, like actual tears, which is how you know the writing is brilliant. The way you get attached to the characters and then have your heart ripped out when you lose one or two of them.

I also loved how the author created characters that were so lonely and grew as the pages went on into humans within a community. They realized the community they always had and the one they could create with the power of a garden.

I don't know, this was just so beautiful. I couldn't believe this book made me feel so many emotions in so few pages. Highly, HIGHLY recommend.

*I won this in a Goodreads giveaway.*

Didn’t like the narrator or the misanthrope story in audio. May try to read as a book rather than listen.

The beginning was just so slow. I almost dnf'd around page 100 but pushed through and finally became interested in the story. The story was nice after that, even though I still don't fully know what to make of the story. I hope for more hope towards the end of my life than these characters had.

A sweet multi generational story centered around a Garden and how something seemingly insignificant can play a pivotal role in bringing people of different backgrounds together in a meaningful way.
