A companion to Elizabeth and Her German Garden about the protagonist's desire and attempt to spend the whole summer alone in her garden. Our old favourites appear, the affectionately portrayed Man of Wrath and the barely distinguishable April, May and June babies, but some new characters appear too, such as a soldier Elizabeth does her best to avoid. I found this work darker than German Garden, her description of the poverty and ignorance in the village I found slightly disturbing; yet it was useful to compare woman's position in turn of the century Germany throughout the classes.
