Product Information

Gorgeous photographs of butterflies and plants dress up the text and graphs, making it a pleasure to read."—Jean Greenlaw, Denton Record-Chronicle Through NetGalley, I received a free copy of THE BUTTERFLY GARDEN by Sophie Anderson in exchange for an honest review. Erin returned home to Cornwall in shame after she ran off for London with her married lover; Erin eventually realized his promises to leave his wife were just lies. The need for employment leads Erin to take a job as an amanuensis with the reclusive writer living in a huge house on the Cornish cliffs. The writer, Maggie, is dying, her eyesight is failing, and she has one last book she needs to write - the story of her daughter’s death and the tale of the fallout afterward. Maggie’s estrangement from her son Lucas is the writer’s real regret. Even as Erin finds herself becoming emotionally invested in Maggie and her woes, she finds herself facing her own estrangement from her parents. Can lies be overcome and peace be achieved? Can Erin learn from Maggie’s life lessons? Vogt, Benjamin (February 19, 2015).

But, that is not what is important to Erin. What is most important is fulfilling Maggie's wishes.
