Illustrated by
Satomi Ichikawa.
In an intriguing mixture of an almost-fantasy and an almost-problem novel, two troubled young sisters work through their own difficulties as they become involved in the work and stories of a garden they believe to be under a spell. Delicately told and understated, the book features a tantalizingly open-ended ending, leaving readers to imagine for themselves what happens next.
