In 1918, Michael McCready returned from the war with one goal: to lose himself in the pursuit of pleasure. Once a promising young medical student, Michael buried his dreams alongside the broken bodies of the men he could not save. After fleeing New York to preserve the one relationship he still values, he takes a position as a gardener on a country estate, but he soon discovers that the house hides secrets and sorrows of its own. While Michael nurses the estate's neglected gardens, his reclusive employer dredges up reminders of the past Michael is desperate to forget. John Seward's body was broken by the war, along with his will to recover until a family crisis to convinces him to pursue treatment. As John's health and outlook improve under Michael's care, animosity yields to understanding. He and John find their battle of wills turning into something stronger, but fear may keep them from finding hope and healing in each other. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Plotwise, It'd probably give it closer to a 4, in that the plot was fairly predictable for a romance. That said? It was well-executed, and even though I knew there was a turn coming up, I was looking forward to see what the turn was. The progression of the characters toward each other felt natural, and the characters themselves were distinct and interesting but not so unique as to be the One Special Character with All The Traits (a problem with small ensembles occasionally).
One thing about the ending - I adore that it's not a perfect Happily Ever After where Nothing Hurts. There is one notable Unhappy that just adds to the realism. That Chevalier included that detail, again, makes the story that much more realistic.
In sum? Definitely recommended! ( )
