A charming, touching read!
"...One is nearer God's heart in a garden than anywhere else on earth."
Full of life's joys and sorrows, the story of Arthur and his garden brought feelings of nostalgia to this reader, as I recalled my grandfather working in his little back garden. I loved following the life of Arthur and his family through the years, as they added new loved ones and lost others. I shed tears and rejoiced with them along the way. The gentle telling of historical events that affected them moved the story along. It was endearing how they cared for each other. It felt like I was reading a journal with snippets of poetry, verses and special songs to bring a meaningful pause between chapters. Arthur's simple faith added hope and inspiration to the story.
Overall a lovely, gentle quick read. Recommend!
