I'm reading "The French Gardener." Supposedly like
Rosamond Pilcher.....not quite as good but not bad.
I'm in a needing to find new authors so this one looked
interesting. Family moves from London and learns
the previous owners had wonderful gardens. Wife
decided to look for a gardener....Frenchman shows
up....seems he helped the previous owner plant them.
