It almost felt like Jewell spent a fair amount of time throwing out red herrings and creating possible suspects, only to get tired of her own book and decide to just wrap things up and close it. Mabel has new guests, a man and a young girl with a baby, in one of her cabins and she doesn't particularly trust them. As disturbing was the way the man spoke to her when he approached, then watched her do as he said and waited for her to make her way over to the Buick and slide herself in. Our main character gets caught acting out and gets sent to her grandparents out in the middle of nowhere.

Everyone feels intimately connected (sometimes far too much so), and though each family has their own dwelling the bulk of what happens centers around this garden. Also what’s up with what the chapter where Avery is unexplainably and suddenly able to read a book while Ri and his mom play the guitars together… isn’t he blind?

Our traditional method preserves the natural humectant glycerin in the soap which attracts and retains moisture on the skin for a gentle cleansing that awakens your senses and brings nourishment to your cleansing routine. I give Lisa Jewell a lot of credit, right from the start I felt totally immersed within the garden community. I enjoyed that aspect of the story especially, all of the characters have a strange history and they have their secrets, reasons for peculiar behavior and faults. Although, we wouldn’t say that this was a nail-biting thriller it was the way that the story was told and the drama within that really grabbed our attention.

I was so horrified by this event, especially given Grace's age, that I was not sure if this was even something I wanted to read.There are also handy little arrows with the grown-ups' names on them showing where they live in relation to each other and the various areas in the communal park.

To me, Lailah seems like the best source of inspiration for the Girl in the Garden, although conflated with Gabriel's role.I didn't particularly warm to either Clare or Adele, they were each too one-dimensional and cliched. She took inspiration from Japanese art which offered fresh approaches to the depiction of women’s everyday lives and she became known for her intimate portrayal of mothers and their children, but also for individual portraits, such as this one of a young woman seated in a garden. For he wasn't the type, Mabel knew, to open or hold or close a door for that girl, and that wasn't because he'd gone with no or too little sleep while putting towns, cities, counties, states, most likely an entire continent between where they began from and where Mabel was standing. Fans of The Secret Garden (the author was inspired by this childhood classic) as well as lovers of family dramas and Indian fiction will find a new favorite in Nair.
