{"product_id":"the-peculiar-garden-of-harriet-hunt-a-novel","title":"The Peculiar Garden of Harriet Hunt: A Novel","description":"\"A sweeping tale of a woman on the edge.\" ―Publishers Weekly\n\"Comparisons to authors like Alice Hoffman or Sarah Addison Allen are apt...highly recommended.\" ―Booklist\n\"This unearthly story flows with an elemental eeriness.\" ―Historical Novel Society\nA lush, enchanting story of a woman who must use the magic of the fantastical plants that adorn her crumbling estate in Victorian London to thwart the dark plots of the men around her...\nHarriet Hunt is completely alone. Her father disappeared months ago, leaving her to wander the halls of Sunnyside house, dwelling on a past she'd rather keep buried. She doesn't often venture beyond her front gate, instead relishing the feel of dirt under her fingernails and of soft moss beneath her feet. Consequently, she's been deemed a little too peculiar for popular Victorian society. This solitary life suits her fine, though – because, in her garden, magic awaits.\nHarriet's garden is special. It's a wild place full of twisting ivy, vibrant plums, and a quiet power that buzzes like bees. Caring for this place, and keeping it from running rampant through the streets of her London suburb, is Harriet's purpose.\nWhen suspicion for her father's disappearance falls on her, she marries a seemingly charming man, the first to see past her peculiarities, in order to protect herself. It's soon clear, however, that her new husband might be worse than her father and that she's integral to a dark plot created by the men around her. To free herself and discover the truth, she must learn to channel the power of her strange, magical garden.\nAt once enchantingly mesmerizing and fiercely feminist, perfect for fans of The Magician's Daughter and The Once and Future Witches, the vibrant world-building and sinister undertones of The Peculiar Garden of Harriet Hunt make for the perfect modern fairytale about women taking control of their lives―with a little help from the magic within them.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1728275814\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1728275814.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Iversen, Chelsea\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
