Return to the Secret Garden by Susan Moody

Return to the Secret Garden by Susan Moody

In this unofficial sequel to the beloved classic, Susan Moody follows Mary, Colin, and Dickon as they grow from the magical world of their youth into the complex reality of adulthood. From the battlefields of France in World War I to 1920s London and far-off India under the Raj, their lives are defined by a bond deeper than time itself—a friendship that began in a secret garden. As adults, they discover the healing power of love while navigating the harrowing challenges of marriage, separation, and global conflict. Return to the Secret Garden is an evocative and moving story of renewal that takes the original characters into a more mature, often dramatic world where the magic of the past must face the shadows of the present.
