It's typical chick-lit fare (I cite illness as an excuse, so needed something entertaining to read rather than thought provoking), but much better written and with more humour than most. In it the dippy heroine not only gets her man (who's also filthy rich), she also wins a competition to design a garden for Chelsea, gets awarded a silver-gilt and gets asked to present a TV gardening programme. All this and the garden's only 12 feet square!VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467969039516590016.post-39002461293570245352008-11-10T18:11:00.000+00:002008-11-10T18:11:00.000+00:00I rather like Miss Havisham's garden.
