Needing an escape from her life, Eloise takes a job at a mysterious garden in France because of one strange rule. No children allowed.
The gardens can heal, but they can also harm. Can Eloise ignore les bizarreries and just exist in this little heaven on earth with her new friends?!
This book is part magical realism, part mystery.. It's cozy, emotional, and terrifying. The characters are lovely, each trying to escape their own trauma. The food sounds delicious. The gardens are a dream. I loved every second of this book.
