About the Book:
Maud is a talented garden historian and devoted mother to Ella and Louise. Motivated to reinvigorate her career and escape her troubled marriage, she accepts a summer job restoring the garden of a lush, nineteenth- century Hudson Valley estate.
While waiting for her daughters to join her at the end of their school year, Maud spends time with a coworker, archeologist Gabriel Crews, whose passion for landscape history matches her own. When their immediate and intense friendship ignites, it sets in motion a seismic shock that will profoundly change Maud's life, as well as the lives of everyone she cares about.
“Reading Hedge is like spending time with your best friend: the daring, smart, compassionate one whose wisdom opens your eyes even as her secrets stun you. A warm, glorious and exciting read!” —Jean Kwok, author of Girl in Translation and Searching for Sylvie Lee
