The Lost Garden

Proof copy. 8vo. Pp. [viii], 184. Pictorial stiff card wraps.

Author's third novel. Leaving war-stricken London in 1941, Gwen Davis volunteers for the Land Army in the Devon countryside where she oversees a group of girls who plant crops for the war effort beside a regiment of Canadian soldiers. "Meticulous, lucid prose. Whether Gwen is describing the sound of a bomb... or recounting the difficulties of travel in wartime England, she is so authoritative that it's hard not to feel one is reading an eyewitness account." –New York Times
