A review by kristensreadingnook
Hedge by Jane Delury

4.0

Hedge begins as Maud is on the opposite side of the country from her family, restoring an old garden. She develops feelings for a colleague, Gabriel, and has to make decisions about her marriage in the process. When her daughters join her for the summer, she must then balance her feelings for Gabriel with focusing on her motherly duties.

Then this book took a turn half way through that I was not expecting and unprepared for. Because of some things going on around me right now, it made this book a tough read. I think readers definitely need to be in the right head space to tackle some of the topics Jane Delury is tackling here.
