A Secret Garden Affair


Erica James


Another heartbreaking but glorious tale of secrets and love from the Sunday Times bestselling author Erica James...
July 1981. As the country prepares to celebrate Prince Charles' wedding to Lady Diana, Libby wants to be as far away from royal wedding fever as possible.

Having caught her own fiance in bed with her best friend just weeks before they were due to marry, she's fled London for the comfort of the Suffolk countryside.

At Larkspur House, with its magical garden created by renowned garden designer and one-time socialite Elfrida Ambrose, and its comfortingly familiar kitchen presided over by Libby's great-aunt Bess, she hopes to find a way to put her life back together.

But for lifelong friends Bess and Elfrida, Libby's arrival has stirred up the ghosts of the past. And before they can help her rebuild her shattered future, they must confront their own unspoken secrets, lost loves, and tragedies...

From the Sunday Times bestselling author Erica James comes a captivating story that sweeps through sixty years of history, love, and family drama.
