About this audiobook

As the gates close against the outside world, a woman claims a summer entirely for herself and her garden. Surrounded by blooming flowers and the silence of the forest, she engages in a deep dialogue with nature. The pressures of domestic management fade, replaced by the rhythm of the earth. It is a peaceful, introspective journey into the luxury of being truly alone.
