The Sea Garden Llewellyn, Sam

A crumbling house on a wild Cornish island. A family drowning in secrets. And a garden that might save them all — or finish them off for good. When Victoria falls for the brooding charm of an island estate, she doesn't realize she's inheriting generations of bad blood along with the property. Her new home sits on land thick with history, feuds, and a legendary garden that hasn't bloomed properly in decades. As she digs into the soil and the past, she uncovers why her neighbors would rather see the place burn than flourish. Sam Llewellyn writes Cornwall like he was raised on salt spray and smuggler's tales — all crashing waves, Gothic atmosphere, and characters who'd sooner die than apologize. Part family saga, part horticultural mystery, this is for anyone who's ever wanted to restore something beautiful while surrounded by people determined to watch it rot.
