Garden at dusk

Two feuding neighbors team up to resurrect a neglected city garden. An uplifting, heartwarming novel from Sara Nisha Adams, author of the popular Library of Small Wonders.

In one London neighborhood, a neglected community garden lies between houses number 77 and 79 on Eastbourne Road. It used to be a small, beautiful oasis in a busy city, visited by neighbors during the day and foxes at night. Today it is overgrown and neglected, the gate firmly locked. And that' s exactly what Winston from issue 79 likes - especially that he gets to avoid his annoying new neighbor.

But when a mysterious package lands on his doorstep - a strange envelope with photographs of a blooming garden, his garden, which many years ago was teeming with life - the seed falls on fertile soil and an idea begins to germinate in his head.

Who is the mysterious gardener who once made a promise to keep the neighborhood spirit and the garden alive? And is it time for the garden to come back to life?

An extraordinary story set from the 1970s to the present day tells of small places, small joys, and lost and rediscovered togetherness.
