Summary

Can something so perfect really be poisonous?

When Rachel and her husband, Adam, move to Maple Cottage in remote Cheshire, it should be the fulfilment of their dream to start a family.

Haunted by her past and challenged by events around her, Rachel finds that her home is not the sanctuary she envisaged - and neither is her marriage. Adam's temper rages when he discovers he is infertile. She seeks solace in the arms of her gardener and falls pregnant.

Dreams become reality - and a garden grows, but as every gardener knows, even the most beautiful plants can be toxic.

Can Rachel find the happiness she craves, or will the toxic past take root and lead her down a dark path?

Contains mature themes.

Beautifully written, enthralling story.

I really enjoyed this audiobook, listened for hours. initially thought something was amiss with the narration as seemed slow, however, this is as it should be asis a wistful self narrative. Not read or listened to this author before, but I will certainly be reading, or listening to more titles.

Clever twist

Not your usual twist in the tale!👍 Enjoyed the integration of nature into the story. As mentioned by others, the narration was very drawly so I speeded up to 1.1 and it was absolutely fine 👍

Original

I liked this story very much, no unexplained holes as in some others. I suppose the ending was predictable as it was alluded to several times, but the execution was good.
I had to speed up the delivery by .15 as the narration was a little slow for my ear.
