Description - The Lost Garden by Helen Humphreys

"A beautifully crafted and bittersweet coming-of-age story..." - BOOKLIST It's spring 1941 and London is being destroyed by the Blitz. Gwen Davis, a young horticulturalist, leaves the city for the Devon countryside. Her job is to rebuild the grounds of a neglected estate to grow food for the home front. The beautiful manor is far removed from the fighting but Gwen has her own battles - as she struggles with her shyness to create a community among her girls. Then Gwen meets two people who will change her for ever: Raley, a Canadian officer awaiting posting to the front, and Jane, a frail free spirit whose fiance is missing in action...
