The Garden of Forgotten Wishes: The heartwarming and uplifting new rom-com from the Sunday Times bestseller

I enjoyed this book. The characters are engaging and the details on gardening add to the enjoyment making it more than a mere chicklit. There is one chapter near the end which descends into farce but it does sort out some loose ends. Casper the cat should be the subject of a book on his own. A pleasant easy read for a rainy autumn afternoon.

What a gorgeous book! A wonderful, feel-good read packed full with lovely snippets about gardens. Marnie managed to get herself away from a controlling husband and has been a bit of a nomad ever since, travelling to France where she works in various gardening projects. With the news that he has remarried, she finally feels safe to return home to the UK and manages to find a position in what was her mother's home village. With her adopted sister living nearby, and the man next door being an old college friend, life is finally looking up for Marnie - or at least she hopes so. I loved absolutely loved everything about this one! Whilst Marnie's story isn't all sweetness and light, her positivity shines through each and every page. The gardens are beautifully detailed, and easy to imagine from the fabulously descriptive writing. With well developed characters and a problem or two thrown in, this makes for an excellent read, and one I would most definitely recommend to everyone who likes to close a novel with the feeling of happiness and satisfaction. I must mention the terrific cover which is beautifully illustrated and just perfect for the contents! A full five sparkling stars, fully deserving each and every one.

honestly, Trisha never disappoints in bringing a nice, simple, slightly twisty but not too turny novel about. I love to just read these when I need to unwind, and this one also allows me to live vicariously through Marnie and Ned as gardeners (something I am terrible at!).
