*****
A powerful and moving debut novel about coming of age again post-marriage and post-menopause.
Claire's life isn't how she thought it would be when she moves into Hunter's Moon. Her long marriage is over, her children have flown the nest, and her work as an illustrator no longer satisfies her. She isn't sure who she is now or what she wants from her life.
It wasn't always like this. Once, she had desires and ambitions.
When her octogenarian neighbour, Tansy, suffers a fall, Claire's solitude is broken. Under the older woman's guidance, she finds solace and a new sense of purpose in regenerating her wild garden. And as the plants grow, Claire retreads the bittersweet journey that brought her to the second half of her life.
This is a story of love. Of friendship and desire, of art and nature, of finding love for yourself and for life itself. It is a story of coming of age, once again, of giving up one's safety net and embracing a new life beyond.
