Synopsis

A summer of art, friendship, and a quiet turning point for a woman rediscovering herself. This book invites you into a village studio and the life of an unforgettable hostess.

In The Garden at Sundial House, a summer in a thoughtful English village centers on Anne Page, a hostess whose world expands when French artists and Parisian ideas arrive. As she gathers with friends and debates art, life, and love, she faces changes that could reshape her future. A painter's pursuit, a circle of bright companions, and conversations about talent, ambition, and the ties that bind—these moments paint a coming-of-age story quiet in scope but rich in feeling. The book follows one season of beauty, risk, and self-discovery.

  • Watch a portrait come to life as a renowned French artist sketches in the garden
  • Experience the allure of Paris’ art world through new friends and ideas
  • Explore themes of aging, independence, and personal turning points
  • Feel the warmth of a summer that changes how a woman sees her future
Anne Page’s summer is ideal for readers who enjoy character-driven stories about art, friendship, and quiet growth.

Ideal for readers of evocative, gentle tales of transformation and creative life.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The latest wing, added in Georgian days, its red brick toned now to a restful mellow colour, imparted an air of formal stateliness to the irregular but charming structure. Roses wreathed the latticed window-panes of the older part of the house; clematis rioted over part of the roof and climbed the chimneystacks. On the sunny walls of the later wing a vine had been trained. The door of the panelled hall in the middle of the house opened upon a square of flagstones, and level with these, a lawn, its smoothness unspoilt by flower-beds, stretched to a sunk fence from which meadowland, whose broad expanse was broken here and there by groups of elms, extended far as the eye could see till its verge touched the sunset sky. On the lawn to the right of the house, one magnificent beech tree swept the ground with its lower branches, and then soared majestically towards the sky. On the left there was a group of chestnuts. But, except for a small white fountain opposite the hall porch, the lawn in its velvet softness was left unadorned.
