Description
Behind a villa in Tuscany lies a Renaissance garden of enchanting beauty. Its grottoes, pagan statues and classical inscriptions seem to have a secret life of their own - and a secret message, too, for those with eyes to read it. Young scholar Adam Strickland is drawn into the mysterious world of the Docci family and their unique garden in 1958. As he delves deeper, he uncovers two stories of love, revenge and murder, separated by 400 years. But will another tragedy be added to the villa's cursed past? Set against the backdrop of post-War Italy, this haunting tale weaves together secrets, lies and tragedy, revealing a complex web of human relationships and motivations.
