The Last Garden by Eva Hornung

4.0

It took me a while after the dramatic start to really warm to this, but Hornung is a wonderful storyteller, not rushing through anything and really building up her isolated little world. The Last Garden is set in a small German religious community in the Adelaide hills sometime in the 1800s and examines grief, faith and nature in exacting and thoughtful ways. This didn't drag me along like [b:Dog Boy|6667541|Dog Boy|Eva Hornung|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1264641197s/6667541.jpg|6862442], but it was still a deeply interesting read.
