“That evening was the evening of the full moon. The garden was an enchanted place where all the flowers seemed white. The lilies, the daphnes, the orange-blossom, the white stocks, the white pinks, the white roses - you could see these as plainly as in the daytime; but the coloured flowers existed only as fragrance.”

Their time away from their respective cities and routines allows for personal growth, introspection, and the forging of unexpected friendships. The novel is celebrated for its evocative setting and the exploration of themes of self-discovery and the power of travel. more
