Orphaned Mary moves from India to England to live at her absent uncle’s manor. Once there, this self-centered, stunted, sour girl blossoms, changing her own life and the lives of others as well.
Who doesn’t like the idea of a secret garden, and in fact all sorts of benevolent secrets hidden from the grownups? This book has a magical quality with all of the transformations that are taking place. Some of the ideas explored in the book are self-examination, nurturing, nature, and loneliness.
