Elizabeth and Her German Garden
by Elizabeth von Arnim
“To cultivate a garden is to cultivate a revolution of the soul.”
Trapped in the rigid social circles of the Prussian aristocracy, a witty English woman finds her liberation and voice within the tangled briars of a neglected estate garden. This charming, sharp-tongued diary captures the defiant joy of a woman reclaiming her independence and peace, one blossom at a time.
