Beskrivelse
From the publisher of The Help comes a moving true story of a unique friendship between two people who had nothing-and ultimately everything-in common. Carol Wall was at a crossroads. Her children had flown the nest, her beloved parents were ageing and becoming increasingly reliant on her and she had overcome a serious illness. Her neglected garden was the least of her worries. Until one day she notices an African man working in her neighbour's garden and realises he is responsible for its spectacular transformation. His name is Giles Owita. He comes from Kenya. And he's very good at gardening. Before long Mr Owita is transforming not only Carol's neglected garden, but her life. Although they appear to have nothing in common, a powerful bond grows between them. But both hold long-buried secrets that will change their friendship forever. This is the story of a woman who at mid-life finds there is so much more to learn and a man whose grace in facing life's challenges is a lesson for us all. 'Deeply personal, poetic, and brimming with humanity, this is a book of lasting grace.' Steve Lopez, New York Times-bestselling author of The Soloist
