Why read it?
1 author picked The Rose Garden as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The main character of this novel travels back in time to 18th century Cornwall.

The ambiance of medieval times stays with me and helped inspire me as I wrote my time travel book.
From Jody's list on time-traveling back to the past.
