I never got the chance to fully finish this book however from the 100+ pages that I did read I am going to give a review.Firstly I found this book simple and slow paced. The book was quite difficult to follow in my opinion as it changed which character it followed many times. Also when it abruptly changed time and went to the past I wasn't sure who I was reading about.Secondly there wasn't really a main character: I found this very difficult to determine. There was also some spelling mistakes and type errors this book could do with a recheck in grammar.Overall I think this book was quite difficult to follow and slow paced but I think it may've been aimed at an older reader. This was a charming book that would make a nice beach read. It is a romance that spans thirty years. A family buys a country home and garden in 2004. In the cottage nearby, the wife finds a diary of sorts that tells of a love story between the past owner and the mysterious French Gardener. The chapters alternate the past and present and the common denominator is the French Gardener. The 2 stories kind of parallel each other and I was drawn in to the romances and drama.
It escaped a 1 star because the portrayal of the garden is lovely. The storyline is not.
