Elizabeth and Her German Garden

An atmospheric vintage story from the late 19th century. The diary of an ironic and observant lady who married a German aristocrat and quite happily lives with her husband in his ancestral estate. Elizabeth cares for her family, three wonderful... daughters, as well as the guests in their home, who have such different expectations from their hosts. However, Elizabeth's greatest joy is her luxurious flower garden. The garden is a refuge from all troubles, the garden is a space for creativity, the garden is a place where the soul unfolds towards nature.

The debut semi-autobiographical book by Elizabeth von Arnim, released in 1898, instantly became a bestseller and brought fame to the writer. Filled with love, hopes, and charming naivety, the book conveys the ambiguous yet still light-filled spirit of its time.
