The Garden of Shared Stories by Clare Swatman

The Garden of Shared Stories by Clare Swatman

The BRAND NEW gorgeously heartfelt novel from the BESTSELLING author of The Lost Letters of Evelyn Wright, Clare Swatman ✨📖Perfect for fans of Jo Leevers, Sally Page and Evie Woods 🕰️Twenty years apart. One story to share.❤️

Emma sits down in a quiet rose garden in her local park, and from nowhere a handsome man sits next to her and turns her world upside down.

Over the weeks, she and Nick meet regularly, always in the same place, always at the same time. They discover they have a lot in common – shared heartbreak, and shared dreams. They tell each other stories about the people they’ve lost – things they’ve never told anyone else. Bit by bit, they get to know each other, and fall in love.

But there’s a catch, because however much they have in common, they have one big thing keeping them apart… twenty years apart. Because when Nick is sitting in the garden it’s 1999 – two decades before Emma is there.

Emma never expected to fall in love again, but now she has, she’s not going to give up on it without a fight. But how do you turn something impossible into a happy ever after?
