THE MEMORY GARDENER
“With a charming cast of characters, sparkling prose, and vivid descriptions, The Memory Gardener is a heartwarming, magical novel sure to fill your senses and lift your spirits. Set in the overgrown garden of a retirement home where long-lost memories can be recaptured in the scent of flowers, Meg Donohue has written an endearing story about how healing, forgiveness, and love are the secret to growing a beautiful life.”
Sure to charm fans of Chocolat, Garden Spells, and The Scent Keeper, USA Today bestselling author Meg Donohue’s The Memory Gardener is an enchanting and moving tale about the power of memory and the nourishing magic of gardens.
Lucy Barnes has an uncanny ability to know exactly which scent among the flowers she grows will return a person to a long-forgotten memory, a key from their past that has the potential to change their future. When she takes a position as the gardener at a somber, colorless assisted-living home, the evocatively scented flowers that she grows awaken not only the home’s gardens, but the entire community, stirring new pleasures and unearthing long-buried secrets within all who venture through the gardens’ gates.
But when a secret comes to light that threatens to shatter the newly close-knit community, the future suddenly looks uncertain. Have the memories that Lucy has unearthed awakened something wonderful … or are some memories better left buried?
“Meg Donohue transports her readers into another world of flora and fauna so gloriously described that I could feel the air cool when we stepped into the shady gardens. The Memory Gardener is sweet and funny, magical and mysterious.”
“Donohue spins a delightful tale . . . Uplifting without being cloying . . . a satisfying feast for the senses.”
