A Bit of Earth by Karuna Riazi
4.0
I received this as an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This retelling of The Secret Garden was lovingly updated & I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it.
Maria is having to grow up while being shipped from place to place after being recently orphaned. Her "sour" demeanor is completely understandable from that perspective and I truly appreciated the care the author put into her grief.
In addition to South Asian rep there's neruodivergent rep.
This is a beautiful retelling, and I definitely recommend.
