A secret garden. A moonlit reunion. And a chance to start again…?
Perched on a hilltop in the Cornish countryside, with the sea sparkling in the distance, lies a garden, once forgotten but recently rediscovered. As the sun sets over its gently crumbling walls every evening, two figures appear and quietly tend the soil at dusk. This is a place that heals the soul.
Gemma is here to find the version of herself she lost long ago. What she hasn’t expected to find is someone who understands her heartbreak all too well.
Leo is also trying to rebuild his life. He knows how to fix things around him with nails and a hammer. But if he tries to mend Gemma’s heart as he mends the garden, could he heal himself too?
Working side by side to uncover long-forgotten flowers in the garden, Gemma wonders if she’s planting the seeds for a whole new future for herself too.
But then one evening, it’s clear somebody else has been to the garden. Someone intending to destroy what they’re creating. Someone who needs to be stopped….
What did I think?
I haven't read a book by Emma in quite a while I think. But isn't that cover just beautiful. That's what made me want to read this book.
I found this a gentle and heart warming story as Gemma relocates to Cornwall to start a new life. I am a true believer in that if things aren't going well - if we can be brave enough - we have to grab chances with both hands to make a change.
I was really hoping things were going to work the way I wanted with Gemma and Leo - but I'm not going to spoil anything in case you haven't read it yet.
This is a story of second chances, of friendships and of a sprinkle of magic with the secret garden.
Can Gemma and Leo save the tumbledown, magical place that has saved them? Or will they lose the twilight garden forever?
An absolutely unputdownable story about lost love, second chances, and the importance finding your true self. Fans of The Last List of Mabel Beaumont, Sally Page and Amanda Prowse will adore this stunning, heartbreaking and yet uplifting novel of finding hope in the most unexpected of places.

Emma once worked for a design studio where she was asked to provide a fun, humorous, and not necessarily true anecdote about herself for their website. She wrote the following: ‘I am a bestselling novelist currently masquerading as a thirty something mother of three.’ Well the job didn’t work out but she’s now a forty something mother of three and happy to report the rest of her dream came true.
She now lives in rural Shropshire where she writes full time from a shed in the garden.
