The Adult Hint

A landscape architect unearths the tangled history of a once-celebrated English garden―and all its mysteries―in the November Adult box, "Where Things Were Wilder"!🌹🧤

A landscape architect is hired to restore the historic gardens at Havenworth Manor―the grounds of which are now an abandoned snarl of bramble and weeds―to their original splendor. For the enigmatic, ninety-two-year-old lady of the manor, the reason for the restoration is the deeply private story of a promise made a lifetime ago, and a vow to keep it before she dies.

In 1940, an aspiring artist dreams of an exciting world beyond Havenworth. Her only escapes are a handsome officer in the RAF, and her sketchbook of flower drawings. Bonding over their disdain for war, they run away to London, where, irrevocably in love, she is forced to make a choice she never imagined. With that, she vanishes from her sister's life forever.

Now, with the help of the manor owner's godson, the architect is determined to uncover both the long-buried secrets of the past and the truth behind a heartbreaking mystery that only restoring the gardens of Havenworth can solve.

Perfect for fans of WWII Historical Fiction, spies, and The Secret Garden, this month's selection weaves together two timelines and will feature FIVE stunning gifts that will bring history to life!
