Book Review of The White Garden

The White Garden
SierraK avatar reviewed on + 195 more book reviews


This book features American landscape designer Jo Bellamy, who has travelled to England to reproduce the famous White Garden at Sissinghurst estate for one of her clients. Jo also has a personal interest in the job, when she learns that her grandfather worked at the Sissinghurst Estate when he was a young man. The story rapidly turns into an adventure story (reminding me a bit of a Dan Brown-type story) when Jo discovers a hertofore unknown manuscript that appears to be written by Virginia Woolf, and it appears that is was written AFTER Virginia supposedly commited suicide. I really enjoyed this story!
