"Patrick Gallagher is an accomplished by eccentric breeder of prized roses. With his beloved garden in jeopardy, he accepts n invitation to lead a garden tour in his native Ireland, where he hopes to attract the eye of an affluent patron. The bankable trip quickly becomes a pilgrimage into his past, as Pratick encounters the deceptions and betrayals that led him to flee the country in the first place. Filled with rich descriptions of fine gardens and set in today's Ireland, this haunting and elegant tale embraces the contradictory nature of the Irish sensibility: grand humour in the face of ultimate tragedy."-- Page [4] of cover.
