( Details ) Canadian Author | ISBN: 0002005115 Published: July 2002 | Published by HarperCollins Publishers, Incorporated From the Publisher Each new Helen Humphreys novel is indelibly stamped with her trademark style: breathtaking, poetic language; fully-formed, passionate characters; and stunning insight into the human experience. Particularly the human experience of love and loss. With The Lost Garden , Humphreys once again shows her superb mastery of technique, language and, most of all, character. In the spring of 1941, bombs are destroying the city of London and shattering lives across the Western World. Gwen Davis, a young horticulturist, leaves her beloved city for the Devon countryside where she will instruct a group of girls in growing crops. There, on a beautiful, but neglected country estate, she meets two people who will change her life forever: Raley, a Canadian officer awaiting posting to the front with his men; and Jane, a frail but free spirit whose fiancé is missing in action. Shy and solitary, Gwen gradually begins to face both her past and her present as her relationships grow with those around her. When Gwen discovers a lost garden, overgrown and containing mysterious markers which name emotions long-buried within her, she finds her own profound capacity to reach for love, even in the face of pain. Through Raley and Jane, she comes at last to understand the unbelievable joy and the unbearable risks of love. Luminously written in Humphreys’ subtle, graceful language, The Lost Garden is a novel that exquisitely captures the almost unbearable feelings of love and loss. Multi-layered in its themes and shot through with an undercurrent of wartime passion and danger, The Lost Garden is unforgettable.
