The forbidden garden / Ellen Herrick.

Herrick, Ellen, (author.).

Summary:

An American nursery owner with a rare gift with plants jumps at the chance to help revive a run-down, Shakespearean garden on a country estate in England and becomes intrigued with the house's haunting history and the owner's brother-in-law.
When Sorrel Sparrow is hired to restore the walled Shakespeare Garden at Kirkwood Hall-the ancestral home of Sir Graham Kirkwood and his wife Stella - she finds desolation and shadows. According to family lore, generations have tried to return the garder to its former glory, but every attempt has failed. Determined, Sorrel vows to save the garden as only a Sparrow Sister can. But as soon as Sorrel enters the garden, she feels a sense of heartbreak, betrayal...and perhaps even a dark enchantment. Intrigued by Kirkwood Hall's history - and also by the haunting tapestries that tell its story - Sorrel, increasingly drawn to Stella's enigmatic brother, sets to work. She slowly unravels the ancient garden's secrets, only to learn that its destiny is irrevocably entwined with her own.
