Interesting Facts

  • The book's characters include eccentric old ladies, silent gardeners, dreamy children, and even ghosts, who become an inseparable part of the local landscape.
  • The author masterfully weaves a delicate nostalgia for a disappearing world into the narrative, where time moves more slowly and nature and people are bound by an unbreakable thread.
  • The stories echo with the quiet music of the English countryside: the clink of teacups, the rustle of leaves, the scent of freshly cut grass, and a gentle melancholy for a bygone era.
  • The book is constructed as a mosaic of memories, where each story is a separate brushstroke in the portrait of a whole generation and its small but meaningful wonders.
