Sowing the Seeds of Love
Though she doesn't know it, the day Aoife spots a neglected walled garden is the day her life begins again ...
The garden casts a spell over her and Aoife persuades its owner to let her take it over and advertises for helpers. Just two turn Uri, a retired tailor, and Emily, a gentle student. It's not promising but Aoife persists. The tailor's son joins them and in time even the garden's crotchety owner joins in.
Being newly arrived in Dublin with her little boy, Aoife finds the project gives her an escape from the turmoil in her head. What she does not realize is that in their various ways the other four are just in need of the garden's healing powers. And as their relationships develop in surprising and life-altering ways, their extraordinary stories show Aoife the amazing resilience of the human spirit.
But that doesn't make it any easier for her when she has to answer the hardest question of can she trust herself to love again?

Nette Liebesgeschichte mit ein bisschen Drama und auch nicht ohne Tiefgang. Sehr schön zu lesen.

Fijn verhaal waarin de levens van totaal verschillende personen bij elkaar komen als ze gezamenlijk een verwaarloosde tuin in ere herstellen. Gelezen in de Nederlandse vertaling "De Ierse tuin". Prettig vertaald.
