Download or read book The Poison Garden written by Miriam Richardson and published by Field Books. This book was released on with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a botanist with a lifelong passion for the intricacies of the natural world, I have always been fascinated by the delicate balance that exists between life and death, between the beauty of growth and the inevitability of decay. This balance is perhaps most evident in the world of gardens, where the vibrant colors of bloom coexist with the silent decay of fallen leaves and the subtle presence of hidden fungi. My first encounter with Blackwood Manor, a sprawling Victorian mansion swallowed by an overgrown garden, was a potent blend of enchantment and trepidation. The air hung thick with the scent of damp earth and decaying foliage, a symphony of aromas both alluring and unsettling. It was a world where beauty and decay intertwined, a reflection of the secrets that lay buried beneath the soil, both literal and figurative. This novel explores the mysteries that unfold within the walls of Blackwood Manor and its enigmatic garden, delving into the hidden truths that lie concealed beneath the surface of the seemingly ordinary. It is a story of family secrets, long-buried resentments, and the insidious power of nature to both nurture and destroy. I invite you to step into the garden's intricate labyrinth and join Olivia Harper as she unravels the tangled threads of a family's past, confronting the dangers lurking in the shadows and the buried secrets of her own lineage.
