For almost a hundred years the close knit Nomeolvides women
have been caretakers of the enchanting garden estate, La Pradera, the
enchanting location which summons visitors from around the world to its
beguiling destination. Here, enchantment blooms in botanical wonder and the
unique family of women hide a tragic history of losing all those they choose to
love too deeply. In the midst of secrets and wonder a young man appears and in
an attempt to help him discover who he is, the women discover the dangers of
long buried secrets and hidden subjects guarded by family.
This book is an
adult view of love, loss and complicated social commentary woven in a botanical
fantasy. The book is a difficult read and the plot convoluted.
