Today is my stop on the Random Things blog tour for The Garden by Nick Newman.
In the walled garden of a large house, two sisters live a basic life confined to a kitchen and living from the food they can grow themselves. Their everyday routine is taken from a handmade almanac put together by their mother years earlier.
The sisters can’t really remember what came before the garden - only snippets of memories of what seems like a more normal existence. Why are they surviving in such strange circumstances and where is everyone else?
When a boy turns up, they are shocked. Who is he and what does he want? Does it mean there are more people coming?
This was such a haunting book and there were some scene that were disturbing, I really couldn’t stop thinking about them. Time seems to have stood still for these elderly sisters confined to a life that revolves around their garden. There were lots of hints, but I was not sure exactly when this was set.
I read this very quickly - starting on Saturday and finishing on Sunday evening. I wanted to find out what would happen and also how the sisters had ended up like this. I would say that this would appeal to fans of horror and dystopian style fiction.
