![]() ![]() The nine gardens at Hefenwick Hall were just magical and I felt I could see them all In finite detail. However once I got into the flow and the mystery started to unravel I saw the beauty in the prose and enjoyed the authors lyrical descriptions. It is a slow burner and I found it a little tricky to become fully absorbed in the story as there was so much description and I found I really had to concentrate on it. Reading the blurb I expected a much more light hearted tale, I can see why it has been compared to 'Its a wonderful life' however this is a much more complex and detailed story. Throughout his narration there is a sense of sadness, disappointment and loneliness which is written beautifully. It tells the story of Oliver who narrates throughout, we learn that he believes he has made many mistakes in life and that he feels he could have done better, or helped people more. ![]()
