Bloomsbury presents In the Heart of the Garden by Leah Fleming, read by Nano Nagle

Iris Bagshott strolls down the paths of her ancient garden, close to Lichfield in the heart of England, wondering if it is time to sell her house and land for development.

She is unaware that around every corner myriad family secrets from the past unfold.

From a Saxon clearing to a monastery, Tudor dwelling to the present day, this sacred plot has nurtured her ancestors. Generations of Bagshott women have found refuge and solace tending it through years of plague, civil war and beyond.

This is their story. P 2019 Head of Zeus P 2019 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC C 2019 Leah Fleming
