The Garden
The Garden is a darkly hypnotic and atmospheric novel that explores isolation, memory, and hidden truths. In an unknown place and time, elderly sisters Evelyn and Lily live alone in a walled garden, cut off from the outside world. They have no memories of life before the garden, nor do they know what lies beyond its borders. Their days revolve around ritualistic routines—tending bees, growing crops, and following the mysterious almanac left by their mother.
But when they discover a nameless boy hiding in an abandoned house within their secluded land, their solitary existence is shattered. Who is he? Where did he come from? And what does his arrival mean for the fragile world they have built?
As doubt and suspicion creep in, Evelyn and Lily must face unsettling truths about themselves, their past, and the garden’s dark secrets. With eerie beauty and haunting prose, The Garden is a spellbinding tale of mystery, survival, and the boundaries of reality—perfect for fans of gothic fiction, dystopian landscapes, and psychological thrillers.
