The Night Garden

In her first novel since the acclaimed memoir 'The Toaster Broke, So Were Getting Married', Pamela Holm brings us a poignant, funny story about monogamy, motherhood, and the wonders of gardening. Dawn, an exterminator by day and an artist by night, and her charmingly morbid nine-year-old daughter, Jewel, find themselves with a room to rent out when they move out of Dawns boyfriends house and into a new home. They soon hear from Harlan, a frustrated documentary filmmaker whose world is quietly crashing down on him too. Over the course of a year, Dawn, Jewel, and Harlans worlds become intertwined as they transform their lives and bring the neglected garden of their new home back to life.
