Description
The Memory Tree by Linda Gillard When a beloved beech tree falls in a storm, its destruction feels like a personal loss. But within the trunk, long-hidden seed packets reveal that there are more memories than Ann's own at play. A century earlier, head gardener William Hatherwick and Hester Mordaunt, mistress of Beechgrave, shared a love for the estate - and an unspoken love for each other. As war breaks out, William is sent to France, leaving Hester to grieve beneath the tree. Years later, historian Connor Grenville seeks to understand why his late grandmother tried to destroy Hester's archive before she died. As Ann delves into her family's past, secrets are uncovered and long-suppressed memories resurface. Beneath the shadow of the tree, love is won and lost, and the truth about the past begins to heal old wounds.
