This beautifully illustrated book is a modern, fresh take on gardening that shows how anyone can grow their own vegetables, create a mini wildflower meadow or learn how to make the most of their houseplants. More than 250 gardeners have contributed their plant choices, each selecting one or more of their most treasured favourites. What’s more as time has gone on, he’s managed to escape from life, thus seeming to show that he’s ‘coping’. Dip in for insider secrets, surprising and inspiring tales, and to discover a whole new world of plants.I felt that the main plot twist at the end was relatively weak and lacked imagination and the climax of the novel was anti-climactic and didn’t offer an exciting end to the story. Creating a thriving window box, choosing suitable plant pots for a desktop oasis or joining a local community garden are perfect ways to experience the joys of gardening. This book emerged from a deeply rooted desire to share the stories of women who are silenced and overlooked. Grow is perfect for anyone who enjoys thrillers and doesn’t get squeamish when reading about a bit of blood. This is the authors first novel and it was carnegie shortlisted last year, a well deserved and impressive accolade for a debut.
