The foreword frames the story’s inspiration through a real-life moment of noticing a garden neglected amid house blessings, and evokes the imagined presence of the past within an ancient landscape. The work then establishes a chapter-by-chapter structure that moves the reader from opening scenes into successive developments across the early timeline.","Also by the Author  \nCORONET AMONG THE WEEDS LUCINDA CORONET AMONG THE GRASS THE BUSINESS IN SUNSHINE OR IN SHADOW STARDUST  \nNANNY  \nCHANGE OF HEART GRAND AFFAIR LOVE SONG THE KISSING GARDEN THE BLUE NOTE SUMMERTIME DISTANT MUSIC THE MAGIC HOUR FRIDAY'S GIRL OUT OF THE BLUE IN DISTANT FIELDS THE WHITE MARRIAGE GOODNIGHT SWEETHEART THE ENCHANTED  \nTHE LAND OF SUMMER THE DAISY CLUB  \nThe Belgravia series  \nBELGRAVIA COUNTRY LIFE AT HOME BY INVITATION  \nThe Nightingale series  \nTO HEARA NIGHTINGALE THE NIGHTINGALE SINGS  \nThe Debutantes series  \nDEBUTANTES  \nTHE SEASON  \nThe Eden series  \nDAUGHTERS OF EDEN THE HOUSE OF FLOWERS  \nThe Bexham trilogy  \nTHE CHESTNUT TREE THE WIND OFF THE SEA THE MOON AT MIDNIGHT  \nNovels with Terence Brady  \nVICTORIA VICTORIA AND COMPANY ROSE'S STORY  \nYES HONESTLY  \nTelevision Drama Series with Terence Brady  \nTAKE THREE GIRLS UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS  \nTHOMAS AND SARAH NANNY FOREVER GREEN  \nTelevision Comedy Series with Terence Brady  \nNO HONESTLY  \nYES HONESTLY PIG IN THE MIDDLE OH MADELINE!
