Atmospheric vintage story of the late 19th century. The diary of an ironic and observant lady who married a German aristocrat and lives quite happily with her husband on his family estate. Elizabeth takes care of her family, her three beautiful daughters, as well as the house guests who have such different expectations from their hosts. However, Elizabeth's greatest joy is her luxurious flower garden. A garden is a refuge from all adversity, a garden is a space for creativity, a garden is a place where the soul opens up to nature. Elisabeth von Arnim's debut semi-autobiographical book, published in 1898, instantly became a bestseller and brought fame to the writer. Full of love, hope and charming naivety, the book conveys the contradictory, but still filled with light, spirit of its time.
