Night Gardening Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I'm listening to the audio book. It has promise, but hasn't completely lived up to it. Still, for a summer book to listen to, it's entertaining. Nice to see a love affair between older, less than perfect looking people. "

" The true meaning of love, and love of the garden. "

" Not exactly a romance - the main characters are in their 60's, one has had a severe stroke - and there is too much talk about plants, gardening, alcoholic middle-aged children, and class in Boston (daughter of immigrants & son of monied WASPs) - for this to qualify as romance, I think. But it is a moving and beautiful story. Interestingly, Swann is a pseudonym for Newbery Honors winning author Kathryn Lasky. "

" I absolutely loved this book. There are some books that stay with you over time and this was one of them. "

" Now why did I even finish this book? "

" another one of my all time favorites. "

" This is a well-written story about renewal - of a neglected garden and a woman recovering from stroke. The widow and a landscape architect designing the garden next door bond as they restore her garden and find love late in life. I've given this 3.5 stars because of the last two chapters. I am tired of romance novels with older characters ending the way this one did. "

" I really liked the book, except the author kept repeating things, like 3 times. That was a bit annoying. AND, the book resembled a romance novel at times. Even though, I did enjoy reading it. "

" Very light read. Not great literature, but entertaining and enjoyable. "

" Lots of great gardening factoids. If this had been "One Woman's Garden Journal" I would have liked it better. I DID like the fact that She and He found each other--- heck, it's a romance with good gardening on the sly. "

" A little light weight for my tastes. Nice story, nice characters each playing a part, nice flowers and gardening....but still left me lukewarm. Am reading it for a book group so I'll be interested in finding out what I'm missing! "

" A wonderful,touching story. My sister yelled at me because it made her cry. I loved it. "

" This was an enjoyable book about one women's recovery from a stroke and finding love and repairing her garden after years of neglect. "

" I bought this book for my mother. I really liked it, she was offended as she thought she was to young to read it!! hahaha, she was older than the gal in it! "

" This is the story of Maggie's stroke. During the winter, she hasn't made much progress with her therapy, but when spring comes she wants to rejuvenate her garden. A landscape architect from next door helps with both her flowering and the flowering of her garden. A beautiful love story. "

" This was a love story concerning an older adult suffering from a stroke. It was interesting "

" I read this 5 or more years ago and still remember what a sweet love story this is. The man and woman are in their late '50's as I recall, lots of gardening and flower references as the man is a landscape artist. "

" Poignant, reassures one that love comes in all forms, all ways, all ages. "

" This book started off with promise but jumped the shark. "

" What a sweet book. Combination gardening and romance. And so inspirational to think that people can fall in love even if they are not in their 20's! "

" What a sweet story! "

" a fairytale for adults! ;) "

" This is a lovely story of finding love at a late age. It's a gentle read that will inspire you to follow your heart. "

" I had waited for quite a bit till it arrived from the library . It was nice light reading very enjoyable . Your never to old to fall in love and develop a secret connection to keep inside you forever "

" One of my alltime favourite books! Beautiful love story about a lady who is recovering from a stroke and a landscape gardener next door how the lady and her garden bloom together. I loved both the love story part and the gardening part of the book. "

" I liked this a lot up until the last two chapters. The ending caught me by surprise and not in a good way. "

" Sumptuous! "

" Borrowed lots of fiction from my library with the theme of "gardening" ...they make it easy for me to check out lots of titles on a topic that I like with their thematic tables. "

" I found this book very poignant. It shows how someone can find something special and meaningful near the imminent end of life. "

" Audio book performed by Dick Hill. Such a good book! But, I did not like the ending. Life is so short live it! "

" This book kept me riveted. It just goes to show you that you are never too old for love. "
