Clare O'Beara asked Melissa Addey:

Hi Melissa, I have an ARC copy of The Garden of Perfect Brightness. Now I check your page I can see you have an interest in organic gardening. Did this inspire your writing? You may like to check out the Green Group through the Community tab at the top of the page; we have an Organic Chat section and we're always pleased to welcome authors and readers.

Melissa Addey Hello Clare! Thank you for the invitation, what a nice group idea. My own garden is a bit wild, I'm not sure I could ever create something quite as beautiful as the Garden of Perfect Brightness... I was lucky enough to visit it as part of my research for the novel and it is wonderful, full of waterways, it reminded me of a countryside version of Venice! If you want to see pictures of it, you can visit the book's page on my website, where I have a link to a photo album from my trip. Happy reading! Melissa
