I really wanted to like this book. It has so much potential. Amy, the main character, lost the love of her life a couple of years before the story begins. She has been grieving, but has finally decided to move from London to a small town in the countryside with her young son Josh. She hopes to work in gardening, having just completed a relevant course. There are allotments near her house, and she quickly makes friends with other people in the neighbourhood.

Still, if you enjoy light fiction, you could do worse than read this book. It helped me de-stress at the end of a busy day, but I never stayed up later than I intended to, or lay in bed worrying about the characters. Nor did I gravitate to the book during the daytime when I was busy doing other things.

Other recommended books about coming to terms with grief are Sue Moorcroft's [[Uphill All The Way]], or [[The Scent of Water]] by Alison Hoblyn.
