"…it is fantastic. The author really drags you into the story and you can visualize yourself actually there living with the characters. Only one complaint: it ended far too soon!"

"Started reading it Saturday night and didn’t finish until Sunday morning.  Fabulous.  Thanks for another wonderful read."

Reviews

Wendy Mewes' latest novel `The Five of Cups' takes us on a journey of discovery to Brittany and has us longing to immerse ourselves in the wild, mysterious region of the Monts d'Arrée, especially if it means becoming involved with the quickly and sensitively-drawn characters as they wrestle with their problems of life and relationships. Wendy's warmth, humanity and sympathetic style with character and plot, and her subtle insistence that we too should use the earth's forces, energies and signposts to change our lives and make decisions, produce a book of irresistible momentum, engagement and huge satisfaction. A book to lift the spirits!

Moon Garden

by Wendy Mewes

Moon Garden is a witty and intuitive novel of love, growth and natural magic, the story of one man’s struggle to get back on his feet after a string of personal disasters. Amongst other things, Rufus has to cope with a domineering ex-wife, the slipperiest of best friends, a dilapidated cottage bought by mistake and a mad old woman who can read his mind. At least he has a job to go to - but even that turns out to be something quite different to his expectations. As he comes into unwilling contact with the world of witches, Rufus learns that there are many kinds of magic and that love is not always what it seems.

"In our house we have two types of books: those which are intended for the second hand shop and those we keep to read again: this one definitely falls into the second category. Good writing, excellent plot and characters you get to care about. What more can I say? Thank you."

"I just wanted to say that I enjoyed the book very much. It is a brilliant story, I couldn’t put it down, I was so eager to find out what would happen next. I loved the characters and the dialogue. The story moved along at a good pace and was always interesting. Thank you very much."

"For a truly enchanting, wonderful work of fiction, you have to try this book ... must say it is the best read in ages. I just hope that there is a sequel."

 "I loved the style - relaxed and easy, occasionally bursting into superb prose - and the characters and descriptions of small country town life. Excellent stuff. The plot captivated me."

"I know this is a book I shall read again. I loved the atmosphere, I laughed at many things..."

Amazon customer reviews

"This is a warm, humorous book that works both as a wonderful story and also as a modern parable... The main theme of how one can achieve their true desires, if they are brave enough to really work out what they are, is subtle and I think is much more succinctly put than in many self-help books."

"I really enjoyed this book - very readable. A good story, with interesting ideas and an intriguing ending."

"Loved the ending, unexpected. Obviously well researched on the magical side of the story ..... highly recommend this title, and eagerly await more from her."

"A book to curl up with and finish in one sitting. A warm and humorous tale set around the fate of Rufus, a hapless hero trying to make his way in the world following a disastrous marriage. I look forward to reading more work from this author."
