Klappentext

Two warring London neighbors unite to resurrect a neglected city garden in this uplifting and quietly joyful novel by Sara Nisha Adams, author of the word-of-mouth hit The Reading List.

Between the houses of No. 77 and No. 79 on Stoke Newington Green in London, there is a shared garden. It was a beautiful thing once, a little oasis in a bustling city. Now it's overgrown and neglected, an empty patch of greenery lost to time. But that suits neighbors Winston and Bernice just fine?their houses may share the garden, but they're not exactly neighborly.
But one day, a mysterious parcel drops through Winston's door at No. 77. It contains no note, only a bundle of photographs of the shared garden many years ago?vibrant with flowers and wildlife, filled with people from every corner of the community. Is someone trying to tell them something?
As a seed is planted. Winston and Bernice lay down their arms and pick up their gardening gloves. As they dig and plant, scrub and water, the garden begins to come out of hibernation?and the frostiness between them slowly begins to thaw. In finding their green fingers, the unlikely pair also start to hatch a bigger plan?could the shared garden help to revive the community spirit that's been languishing for so long? With a little help from the secret gardener sending the parcels, they're determined to find out.
Told with warmth and spirit, The Shared Garden is a love letter to the little acts of kindness that can change a life. It's a story of growth and community, and how when we dig in together, there's always hope of a brighter future...
