The Gardens of Delight brochure promises the opportunity to visit some of the most beautiful gardens in the Lake Como area of Italy. For Lucy, the chance to go to Italy offers more than just gardens. Lake Como is where her father lives, and the last time she saw him was when she was just a teenager. Recently married Helen and her wealthy husband have just moved into the Old Rectory. With her husband spending so much time away from home, Helen throws herself into caring for the garden. But Helen needs help - and friends - and so decides to take the plunge and join the local Garden Club. Conrad isn't the least bit interested in gardening. Widowed for five years, his life revolves around work and humouring Mac, his elderly uncle who lives with him, and who has expressed a desire to go on the Gardens of Delight tour. Reluctantly, Conrad agrees to accompany him. 'Anything for a peaceful life,' he concedes. But a peaceful life is the last thing any of them are in for...… (más)

Disappointing. Erica James has written some excellent and moving books (eg 'Precious Time') but this one was more like a TV soap than a novel. Far too many people, multiple viewpoints, and almost no character development. ( )

I wouldn’t normally read this genre (womanlit?) but couldn’t resist the setting on Lake Como. That part is done well, but the book OPENED with an editing error (someone being subordinate rather than INsubordinate!) and it didn’t really hold my attention, though it was competently enough done and passed the time. I never really engaged with or cared about the characters, and it seemed over-planned and under-executed in parts, not properly thought through in others. ( )

As with others of James's recent books, there is a bit more darkness to this story than in some of her earlier work. There are a couple of characters who may fairly be called villains! It was an enjoyable and satisfying read with a number of characters and subplots which never became confusing; the travel and garden descriptions were a nice addition. ( )

The villagers are off on 'The Garden of Delights' tour. Each has their own reasons for going; some are passionate about gardens, others are along for the ride, some to keep an eye on others. All are in for some surprises!

This book takes a long while to get going, but when it does it has it's twists and turns - most of which you can see coming!

An enjoyable light read, but it's not going to change your world. ( )

A good example of romantic fiction for women. Good to take on holiday. ( )
