WOOOW. This book was such a fantastic read. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time, it was so intense and beautiful, and mysterious and romantic. I know the story probably ends there, but I wouldn't be mad to see it continue.
Thora was raised around death, and then she loses her father and then her new husband. Her husband's family decides they rather not keep her and decide to send her to a university where a former colleague of Thora's father has offered a position to learn and be partner's in Botany. Once she's there she starts seeing a woman wander around at midnight in a mysterious garden and is drawn in. Meanwhile, her new friend, Leo, has some mysteries of his own and is wary about Thora spending time with the woman in the Garden.
Francesca May has shocked me in the best way possible, I knew whatever she writes was going to be good, but I had no idea it was going to be this fantastic. I highly recommend this book, This is easily one of my favorite reads of 2025.
