Critics Review
‘June in the Garden is the book we all need right now. It’s heartwarming, witty, and ever so wise. …[a] perceptive and uplifting story about family and finding a place in the world.’ * Jane Tara, author of Tilda is Visible *
‘Essential and beautiful…a primer in empathy and compassion.’ * Benjamin Ludwig, author of Ginny Moon *
‘A story that will weed its way into your heart… I cried; I cheered; I wanted to get my hands into the dirt alongside June.’ * Rachel Mans McKenny, author of The Butterfly Effect *
‘A winning voice that makes you root for her from the very first line to the very last.’ * K.J. Dell’Antonia, author of The Chicken Sisters *
‘June in the Garden is an exquisitely touching, gently humorous tale of love, loss and renewal. The character of June, with all her vulnerabilities and differences, is so sensitively and lovingly drawn that I felt deeply invested in her mission to find a new place to sink her roots. June has her own particular way of interacting with the world, which might initially come across as rigid and self-centred, but her nurturing of the plants that surround her presents us with a window into her deeper, more complex feelings. Both compelling and thought-provoking, June in the Garden is a novel packed with compassion, warmth and wit. I loved it.’ * Sarah Haywood, author of The Cactus *
