Title: The Peculiar Garden of Harriet Hunt Author: Chelsea Iversen Narrator: Anna Burnett Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 26 minutes Release date: December 3, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: True magic is found among the bluebells and brambles Harriet Hunt is completely alone. Her father disappeared months ago, leaving her to wander the halls of Sunnyside house, dwelling on a past she’d rather keep buried. She doesn’t often venture beyond her front gate, instead relishing the feel of dirt under her fingernails and soft moss beneath her feet. Consequently, she’s been deemed a little too peculiar for popular Victorian society. This solitary life suits her fine though—because outside, magic awaits. Harriet’s garden is special. It’s a wild place full of twisting ivy, vibrant plums, and a quiet power that buzzes like bees. Caring for this place—and keeping it from running rampant through the streets of her London suburb—is Harriet’s purpose. But a woman alone in the world is vulnerable. Soon, a sinister plot involving her father’s disappearance begins to take shape, with Harriet herself at its center. Everything she holds dear—from the thorny roses she tends to her very freedom—is at stake. To save herself, Harriet will have to unearth her past, discover the secrets of her garden, and finally embrace the wild magic inside her. “Fans of Rowenna Miller and Rena Rossner will particularly enjoy this coming-of-age tale in which the magic that surrounds Harriet Hunt provides both her greatest vulnerability and her greatest strength.”—Greer Macallister, author of The Magician’s Lie and The Thirteenth Husband
