review 1: The characters in this story were well-developed and relatable. I appreciated the layout of the character background, as it made it easier to understand and "get to know" each character by flashing back to each one's history at well-planned times throughout the book, instead of lumping it all in to the beginning. The story was a bit denser than I had imagined, feeling a bit more emotionally heavy than I had thought it would be, but that is to the author's credit for writing in a way that you can't help put be empathetic to each character's circumstances. The ending was perhaps a bit of a let down for a book so filled with emotion, and was a tad too predictable, but I still felt quite satisfied upon completing this read nonetheless.
review 2: Could not put down ... morethis heartfelt story about a walled garden in Ireland that brings together different people each with their version of sorrows. I kept thinking that the walled garden was almost like a heart; encased, giving of life and in need of constant tending and nurturing. Tara Heavey is a widely read author in Europe but this is her first book published in the US and I cant wait for more. less
