Elizabeth and Her German Garden by Elizabeth von Arnim — plot, author, genre and where to read, in one evergreen guide.
Told in a series of diary entries, Elizabeth and Her German Garden recounts one year in the life of an Englishwoman determined to revitalize the neglected garden of their German estate.
