Commentary Toward Books The Midsummer Garden

Travelling between lush gardens in France, windswept coastlines of Tasmania, to Tuscan hillsides and beyond, The Midsummer Garden lures the reader on an unforgettable culinary and botanical journey.

1487 Artemisia is young to be in charge of the kitchens at Chateau de Boschaud but, having been taught the herbalists' lore, her knowledge of how food can delight the senses is unsurpassed. All of her concentration and flair is needed as she oversees the final preparations for the sumptuous wedding feast of Lord Boschaud and his bride while concealing her own secret dream. For after the celebrations are over, she dares to believe that her future lies outside the chateau. But who will she trust?

2014 Pip Arnet is an expert in predicting threats to healthy ecosystems. Trouble is, she doesn't seem to recognise these signs in her own life. What Pip holds dearest right now is her potential to make a real difference in the marine biology of her beloved Tasmanian coastline. She'd thought that her fiance Jack understood this, believed that he knew she couldn't make any plans until her studies were complete. But lately, since she's finally moved in with him, Jack appears to have forgotten everything they'd discussed.

When a gift of several dusty, beautiful old copper pots arrives in Pip's kitchen, the two stories come together in a rich and sensuous celebration of family and love, passion and sacrifice.

Comment On Containing Books The Midsummer Garden

I really enjoyed this book, that I won through Goodreads. The characters were interesting and well written. Don't usually like historic fiction, but this worked well, going between the modern day and then back to the middle ages. Made you realise you didn't want to live in those times!!!Would definitely recommend this book.

Kirsty Manning is an Australian journalist and author who has previously co-authored a book on gardens and cooking called We Love Food. These two passions are apparent on every page of her debut novel, The Midsummer Garden. The novel travels back and forth in time between the stories of Pip, an Australian doctoral student in 2014, and Artemisia, a cook at the Chateau de Boschaud in 1487. The two are linked by the discovery of a small book of hand-written recipes hidden within a set of antique



I was able to read this via giveaways and am thankful to have the chance to read this. For a debut novel it is well written and weaves the two times and stories together. Having read other books written in this style this is a easy and enjoyable one and if you enjoyed others in this style it is best you grab this as well.

Loved loved loved this book. It transports the reader to beautiful destinations around the world and takes us on a culinary journey. Still weeping over Artemisia...

I received this book as a giveaway from Goodreads. A wonderful blending of the past and present, the way of the food, herbs and spices was vital to the people involved. Two stories of love, struggle, betrayal and compromise separated by over 500 years. The modern and the medieval so different in every way but the stories and the recipes, herbs and spices make their way into the present and help a troubled, confused, Pip, decide on the direction her life should take.
