| Synopsis | ||||||
The chain garden: linked circular beds bright with summer colour present a charming picture - unless you understand the coded language of flowers... Guilt-ridden at the number of men dying in her father's tin mine, Grace Damerel works hard to help the village's bereaved families while caring for her frail mother, who is a passionate gardener, and preparing for her brothers' long-awaited homecoming. The arrival in Treworthal of Edwin Philpotts, a former missionary, ignites a dramatic sequence of events that brings to light long-buried secrets. What is the reason for Edwin's return to Cornwall, and how will Grace respond to his shocking confession? |
