“Why is life designed to break your heart?”

A sumptuous love story by novelist Trish Doolan.

The Singing Gardener is a story of unbounded passion, of what happens when you go after your dreams and what happens when you don’t. Book-ended in the voice of Maria’s daughter Donata, the heart of the novel takes place in the span of four days that forever change two people’s lives.

This highly cinematic feast for the senses will take you on a journey through Tuscany, a place where the land is achingly gorgeous and the people rely on it for life itself, where quirky neighbors know each other’s business, and God and Church still hold sway over the most personal parts of a woman’s life. Trapped in a loveless marriage, Maria Ricci’s only pleasure comes from her beautifully-tended garden, famous throughout Chianti. Pressured to produce a child, and a son at that, by her boorish husband Martino and his overbearing mother, Maria has nowhere else to turn for solace. And when she falls in love with her charismatic gardener, Stefano Portigiani, she also falls into turmoil greater than she could have predicted. Gifted with a voice that makes all the flowers swoon, Stefano has an uncanny, almost supernatural ability when it comes to growing anything at all. Not only can he heal Maria’s wounded heart, when drought comes to the land, he may just save the countryside as well. But will he save himself from a broken heart?

A classic tale of forbidden love and the magic that occurs when we follow our hearts, The Singing Gardener will appeal to the millions of readers who loved The Bridges of Madison County and Like Water for Chocolate.
