A review by horsley123
The Gardener by Salley Vickers

4.0

I was really enjoying this book - formulating the review in my mind 'an enjoyable, rural retreat heals broken heart' when the ending suddenly strode into the read. I honestly thought my Kindle had missed a few segments out, or had done that irritating thing when it skips five pages and you are in the middle of something you don't understand.

So I will review this book in two parts.

The first 99% - a calming, beautifully written, and paced tale of two sisters who retreat to the country after the death of their father. The garden, the house and the gardener all help to heal rifts and broken hearts. Just the soothing balm I needed after the last two years.

The final 1% - What??
