A beautiful and heartwarming portrait of a young woman who looks at the world differently, for readers of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine and The Lady in the Van.

June can name every flower species. She finds it much harder to cultivate an understanding of people.

After her mother's unexpected death, June sets out to find her father, whom she knows only from an old photograph. When she arrives at his door, he panics and turns her away. With nowhere to go, she secretly moves into his yellow garden shed. But when her father's twelve-year-old son discovers her, June must decide whether to stay or run.

This joyful and humorous debut novel is also a thoughtful celebration of difference. Readers will fall in love with June, as she searches for the two things she is missing-a family and a garden. June in the Garden lets us see things afresh.
