Description

Reclusive Evelina Adams tends a flourishing New England garden that mirrors her unfulfilled desires until young cousin Evelina arrives and both are drawn toward minister Thomas Merriam. Love, seclusion, and sacrifice thicken under village eyes as longing finds a rival in the same plot. Spoken as when Evelina’s garden still asks what desire will bloom when another girl shares the path.

Author

Mary E. Wilkins Freeman (1852–1930) grew up in Randolph, Massachusetts, and wrote the New England village as if every parlour were a theatre of will. A New England Nun is the famous short weather of a woman who will not be hurried into marriage; Pembroke is the same climate at novel length — pride, church, and a stubbornness that can freeze a town. She later took the Howells Medal. The regional is never small in her hands. Thrift has a pulse.
