The China Garden | Kristina Olsson
Over two hot weeks one summer, cracks emerge in the veneer of a small town. The discovery of an abandoned baby pierces the lives of three very different women. Expatriate Laura returns home after years in exile for her mother's funeral, only to discover her upbringing was based on a lie. Matronly Cress considers herself the moral compass of the community but has her own demons, while young Abby walks the streets, her bruises wrapped in baggy clothes. But it is gentle Kieran, an unlikely guardian, who knows their secrets and watches over them. As their lives collide, what is buried can no longer remain hidden. The China Garden is a captivating story about betrayal and its echoes across generations.
