Join Petrarch’s Bookshop at St Lukes Launceston as we launch The Secret Garden Club by Wendy Lynn Newton in conversation with Shirley Patton.
As moving as it is hilarious, The Secret Garden Club is an unforgettable story of the green shoots that grow out of grief.
When Hilary finds her husband of thirty years dead on his way to the compost heap, it is the end of the world as she knows it. In a fit of grief, she destroys every inch of the beautiful garden to which George devoted his life. Only the trees are left standing – because Hilary can’t get the safety off the chainsaw.
In the hazy days after the funeral, a group of strangers knock at the door. Announcing themselves as The Secret Garden Club, they tell Hilary that George was a member and one of their dearest friends.
So why has Hilary never heard of them?
