Will love bloom this winter?
Freya Fuller is living her dream, working as a live-in gardener on a beautiful Suffolk estate. But when the owner dies, Freya finds herself forced out of her job and her home with nowhere to go. However, with luck on her side, she’s soon moving to Nightingale Square and helping to create a beautiful winter garden that will be open to the public in time for Christmas.
There’s a warm welcome from all in Nightingale Square, except from local artist Finn. No matter how hard the pair try, they just can’t get along, and working together to bring the winter garden to life quickly becomes a struggle for them both.
Will Freya and Finn be able to put their differences aside in time for Christmas? Or will the arrival of a face from Freya’s past send them all spiralling?
The Winter Garden is the perfect read this Christmas, promising snowfall, warm fires and breath-taking seasonal romance. Perfect for fans of Carole Matthews, Cathy Bramley and Sarah Morgan.
Book Review
I’ve loved being back in this community, this time with Freya and a totally different message (well two actually, feeling gratitude really does return gifts to you threefold AND follow your dream and don’t give up!).
Being outside and letting nature work her magic is a big part of the story.
As much as I enjoyed the friction and attraction between Freya and Finn, it was great to see how Nightingale Square and Kate and Luke were getting on. But even more than that, WINTERFEST! What a brilliant idea! It’s made me want to join in sessions.
Conflict comes from family but so does the greatest opportunity for change 🙂
From the moment I started reading I found it hard to put this story down (not even realising on a couple of occasions it had gone passed midnight). I was drawn in emotionally and felt really sad when the story ended.
If you’re feeling isolated or just a bit down at this time of year, then The Winter Garden is a read that will lift your mood and leave you feeling great from being a part of such a warm and loving community. Highly recommended.
