Audrey is the link that holds this story together, she is the linchpin. One problem though, she died in a mysterious car crash, leaving behind her husband and what seems to be other random strangers.

It is set in Kew Gardens, London, and spans a year. During that year we discover and meet Jonah, who is Audrey’s husband, Milly a little girl who seems to wander round Kew by herself, Harry the botanist and Chloe the art student and maker of origami birds. They are all linked in their own way to Audrey.

I really wanted to enjoy this story, the characters are well written, the general feel of the book was only okay for me though. It would be a lazy afternoon read, if I was asked my opinion of it. It rather feels like i was merely meandering through it, rather than wanting to keep turning the pages to find out what happened next.

I have marked this book as a 3*, but with an addition on my personal notes , to come back to this book and try it again, as I didn’t dislike it.
