内容简介：
Holders Hope, Herefordshire. The roots of a great garden are laid in the long summer of the Edwardian age. Grown from a woman's desperate need to hold on to beauty, created by a man who plants his love for her, hated by a husband it humiliates and imprisons--the garden grows around a secret. Two families are bound up with the garden, three children meet in it, and after some of the most turbulent years of Britain's history it is a young man from the twenty-first century who will finally solve its mystery and bring a hope of its re-birth.
