In the Shadow Garden
In the Shadow Garden | Liz Parker
6 posts | 2 read | 5 to read
The richly atmospheric and luminous debut about three generations of women whose magic is as much a part of life as love, death, and the rich, dark earth beneath their feet--perfect for fans of Practical Magic and Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe. There's something magical about Yarrow, Kentucky. The three empathic witches of the Haywood family are known for their shadow garden--from strawberries that taste like chocolate to cherry tomatoes imbued with the flavors of basil and oregano. Their magic can cure any heartache, and the fruits of their garden bring a special quality to the local bourbon distillery. On one day every year, a shot of Bonner bourbon will make your worst memory disappear. But the Haywoods will never forget the Bonners' bitter betrayal. Twenty years ago, the town gave up more than one memory; they forgot an entire summer. One person died. One person disappeared. And no one has any recollection of either. As events from that fateful summer start to come to light, there must be a reckoning between the rival Haywood and Bonner families. But untangling the deep roots of this town's terrible secrets will expose more than they could ever anticipate about love, treachery, and the true nature of their power.

This book is a magical debut. It had mystery, magic, romance, love, and everything in between. It sheds light on themes of forgiving and forgetting as well as holding grief and sorrow as having loved and lost being better than not having loved at all.

Lizpixie I just bought this one, only coz the authors name is mine! First time I‘ve ever come across that. 6mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Lizpixie, how could one resist!? I‘d buy a book by my name doppelgänger in a heartbeat too! (edited) 6mo
CarolynM @Lizpixie I noticed the author‘s name and thought of you immediately 😀 I couldn‘t have resisted either @thegirlwiththelibrarybag 6mo
Lizpixie @thegirlwiththelibrarybag @CarolynM I wonder what percentage of coincidence it would be to find a published author with your exact name🤔 6mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Lizpixie, I rarely see my name in print. There was a Sharni in a YA novel once - but she was a mean girl, side character 😔 (I was still excited tbh). Percentage must be reasonable - after all there are other people with my name on Facebook… 6mo

I don't have the right words to say how much I love this book. It gives Practical Magic & Sarah Addison Allen vibes (my favorite vibes).
The characters, the magic, and the town hit all the right notes to pull me into this book and make me never want to leave. I was enthralled the whole time.
If you are looking for the perfect fall vibes but don't like horror this is a great pick that I don't think is getting enough attention! #netgalley
