Awesome modern take on the old favorite of the Secret Garden.
Reviews and Comments
Using reading to expand my world and read from all categories. I love a well written book, but if the ideas are good and the writing less so, that's ok too.

In addition to a great story, this book had a lot of nature and history of the Cyprian conflicts. For me there was nothing not to like about it.

Time travel - if considered a genre, is a favorite of mine. (I especially enjoyed The Psychology of Time Travel and If/Then). I found this was such a cool premise, having people return from centuries past and see how they adapt to the modern world, however, it was slow going. For me it picked up a little toward the end.
Perfect for the solstice

I started this book and immediately all other things I was reading went lower in priority. I loved the connections with the earth and motherhood.
