Story
Nessa Vivian is determined to keep her parents' business afloat, but Pear Tree Farm near the backwater Cornish village of Polgarth didn't do well as farm, and it's not faring much better as a camp site. Maybe it’s due to Nessa's habit of taking in troubled runaways, like ex-soldier Crispin, for next to nothing. Or perhaps her highly strung sister, Lowena, is right - caravans named after Beatles' songs and homegrown pears are not enough to turn the farm into a tourist haven.
Publisher's Summary
The Jacobs family has lived at Orley Court for generations. But when Vanessa Jacobs is widowed and left to manage the property, she finds costs spiralling out of control.

The new owners of the north wing are Laurence Sturridge and his father, Marcus. Both of them long for an escape: Laurence from the monotony of his City career; Marcus from the grief of losing his wife. Could the beauty of Orley Court offer them a fresh outlook on life?
As the two families embark on a challenging new chapter over the course of a glorious English summer, secrets are revealed and relationships tested. But as Orley Court begins to weave its magic over them, will it be love, above all, that brings the two families together?

A good book for a 16 year old
What disappointed you about Love in an English Garden?
Absolutely the wrong type of book for my taste. A weak story line, romantic love that would perhaps appeal to a teenager
Has Love in an English Garden put you off other books in this genre?
Probably
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Susan Duerden?
Don't know
What character would you cut from Love in an English Garden?
Can't say the entire plot was just so implausible and ridiculously structured to be believable
