With my novel coming out next month, I’ve been thinking a lot about the places that shaped it.
Fletcher Moss Botanical Garden was one of them.
There’s something about the quiet there—the sense that time moves differently—that found its way into the story without me even realising at first. Strange how places can do that.
Grateful to have somewhere like that close to home
