The White Garden - Stephanie Barron (2009)
Jo has accepted a new commission - to travel to the UK and visit Sissinghurst, and recreate the famous White Garden for her wealthy clients. Two days after telling her grandparents, her grandfather dies leaving a cryptic note that Jo believes relates to the gardens she will be visiting.
So while scoping out the gardens, she finds a mysterious diary with her grandfathers name on it that relates to the suicide, in 1941 of the author Virginia Woolf. Enlisting professional help to verify the diaries author, Jo then finds herself in a chase across the UK, to find out what happened in the time between Virginias death and her body being found.
Worthy of a 4/5 I enjoyed the book, the quality writing managing to absorb me and made it easy for me to disappear within the pages.
