Coming Up Roses

Coming Up Roses by Rachael Lucas. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781447265481.

Would-be gardener Daisy can’t believe her luck when her parents announce they’re off on a midlife crisis gap year, leaving her in charge of their gorgeous garden. After a turbulent few months, a spot of quiet in the countryside is just what she needs. A shoulder to cry on wouldnt go amiss either - so when Daisy comes across Elaine and Jo, she breathes a sigh of relief. But her new friends are dealing with dramas of their own… As Daisy wrestles the garden into something resembling order, her feelings for handsome Irishman George begin to take root. Daisy’s heart’s desire − her parent’s garden − is under threat, and Daisys forced to confront nosey neighbours and fight greedy developers. Village life is turning out to be far from peaceful.
