Summary

No one survives war unscathed. But even in the darkest days, seeds of hope can grow. It is 1946, and in the village of Oakbourne, the men are home from the war. Their bodies are healing, but their psychological wounds run deep. Everyone is scarred – those who fought and those left behind. Alice Rayne is married to Stephen, heir to crumbling Oakbourne Hall. Once a sweet, gentle man, he has returned a bitter and angry stranger, destroyed by what he has seen and done, tormented by secrets Alice can only guess at. Lonely and increasingly afraid of the man her husband has become, Alice must try to pick up the pieces of her marriage and save Oakbourne Hall from total collapse. She begins with the walled garden, and as it starts to bear fruit, she finds herself drawn into a new, forbidden love. Set in the Suffolk countryside as it moves from winter to spring.
