This is a sweet book, sweet smelling too (cause of the garden you know). It starts with Rose retiring after years of being a nurse and finding what the next step in life is going to be (sadly without her husband, Glen). She is joined by several others, Flora, Daisy, Sarah at the start but with more joining in as the garden of memories that Rose starts, expands to fit all of them and their pasts that they want to remember even as they move forward in the present. They find their way through trials, heartache, joy and resolve. I would love to be able to go and visit that wonderful garden, even if I might be allergic. So, while I would love that, I had so much fun reading this and it left me with a feel good and so I do recommend this book if you want to experience a slice of life that has a happy ending!
