Entre un père complètement absent et une mère en dépression, Aleisha n'a guère le temps de lire pour son propre plaisir. Mais les journées sont longues à la bibliothèque de Harrow Road où elle travaille. Et la mystérieuse liste de lecture qui s'est échappée d'un livre a éveillé sa curiosité. Alors, pour tromper l'ennui, elle parcourt les premières pages des romans mentionnés et découvre, en compagnie de Scout, d'Elizabeth Bennet et de tant d'autres, un monde insoupçonné. Quand un vieux monsieur, perdu entre les étagères remplies de livres, vient lui demander conseil, Aleisha trouve dans cette âme égarée un ami avec qui échanger sur ses lectures et surmonter ses peurs et ses peines. Car il n'est jamais trop tard pour commencer à lire, à aimer et à rêver.

The uplifting, unforgettable new novel from the acclaimed author of The Reading List
''It was a complete joy to spend time in The Twilight Garden'' Sally Page, bestselling author of The Keeper of Stories
_____________________________________________________________
In a small pocket of London, between the houses of No.77 and No.79 Eastbourne Road, lies a neglected community garden.
Once a sanctuary, the garden''s gate is now firmly closed. And that''s exactly how Winston at No.79 likes it - anything to avoid his irritating new next-door neighbour.
But when a mystery parcel drops on Winston''s doormat - a curious bundle of photographs of a community garden, his garden, bursting with life years ago - a seed of an idea is planted . . .
Somewhere out there, a secret gardener made a decades-old promise to keep the community''s spirit alive. And now it''s time for The Twilight Garden to come out of hibernation . . .
Sweeping through the 1970s to a modern corner of London, this is a life-affirming story of small spaces, small pleasures - and a community lost and found.
