Santa Montefiore 
French Gardener 

FROM THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR A spellbinding novel about marriage, passion, loss, renewal, and the healing power of love from the number one bestselling author of Songs of Love and War. Married couple, Miranda and David, move out of London into a beautiful country house with an idyllic garden. But reality turns out to be very different from their bucolic dream. Soon the latent unhappiness in the family begins to come to the surface, isolating each family member in a bubble of resentment and loneliness. Then a mysterious Frenchman arrives on their doorstep. With the wisdom of nature, he slowly begins to heal the past and the present. But who is he? When Miranda discovers his secret in the cottage by the garden, the whole family learns that a garden, like love itself, can restore the human spirit, not just season after season, but generation after generation. Wise and winsome, poignant and powerfully moving, The French Gardener combines the savvy of contemporary womens fiction with an old fashioned sensibility steeped in the importance of family and the magical power of love.***PRAISE FOR SANTA MONTEFIORE*** ‘;Nobody does epic romance like Santa Montefiore’JOJO MOYES ‘;An enchanting read overflowing with deliciously poignant moments’DINAH JEFFERIES on Songs of Love and War ‘;Santa Montefiore hits the spot for my like few other writers’SARRA MANNING ‘;One of our personal favourites’ THE TIMESon The Last Secret of the Deverills ‘;Accomplished and poetic’ Daily Mail ‘;Santa Montefiore is a marvel’ Sunday Express
