Frances Hodgson Burnett
2017-11-01
Though not a direct fit with my typical fare, Burnett's classic enchanted me with its restorative power of nature and the quiet strength of young Mary. The story unfolded in the walled garden as though the petals themselves were whispering secrets, a fitting match for my own verdant Seattle garden. The narrative is a reminder that sometimes the most extraordinary transformations come from the most unassuming beginnings.
