About this listen

Life is about to blossom for Lili.... 

In the three years since her husband died in a car accident, Lili has just about managed to resume her day-to-day life as a single mother and successful illustrator. She can now get her two girls to school, show up to work and watch TV like a pro. But there's still the small problem of the aching loss she feels inside. 

When she's commissioned to illustrate a series of horticultural books, and signs up to a weekly gardening class, finally her life starts to bloom again. The class provides Lili with a new network of unexpected friends - friends with their own heartaches and problems - and, maybe, another chance at love.

A gentle tale based around a garden course with themes of loss and love that is elevated from the trite by the wonderful wit. So many wonderful and well observed quips

Narrator was fine but wholly unsuited to a story set in Los Angeles. Especially as they have a real RP tone that couldn’t reach where it needed for the characters. For an English country garden story, absolutely!

Very English regional accents for LA?
