MOON GARDEN

by Wendy Mewes

Moon Garden is a witty and intuitive novel of love, growth and natural magic, set in the West Country - 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.

Back cover text:

Rufus’ life is a mess.

Can an unusual summons to the mysterious moon garden save him from total disaster? Will its legend prove true? It seems so when he meets Lily, the woman of his dreams…

Is there such a thing as magic?

Through unlikely friendships and emotional traumas, Rufus comes to understand that there are many things beyond the bounds of reason, but does the key to lasting happiness lie in the moon garden?   

Be careful what you wish for...

Wendy Mewes offers us a warm and spirited portrayal of men and women striving to cope with the demands of change, growth - and each other. This witty, empathetic tale of natural magic and human desires probes a question that touches us all: what is happiness and where can we get some?
