Charlotte Bingham - The Kissing Garden

Beschrijving boek

As children, George Dashwood and Amelia Dennison loved to roam the Sussex Downs, just as their two very different families were friends, so too were they, until they are caught in a thunderstorm. Sheltering from the elements, the now mature George realizes that the way he feels about Amelia has changed. But it is 1914 and the declaration of war cuts across any romantic plans that the two might have.

George is away at the front for four years, but when the miracle happens and he returns home safely Amelia finds that the boy she loved is gone. Although they marry it seems that George does so from a sense of duty. It is only when they discover an old priory with a magical atmosphere that their chance for happiness becomes a reality.
