Welcome!

This blog is not a summary of Helen Humphreys' great novel, The Lost Garden, but rather it is an exploration of themes, characters, confict, and the poetic style of writing. Do not let this blog influence your opinion of the novel for that is your's to discover on your own. Only consider what I have to say about this great Canadian novel.

I will dig even deeper into Helen Humphreys novel and analyse her characters so closely I will know them as well as I know myself. In this blog, I made many predictions about the novel, and as I read on, I either learned I was correct, or incorrect (which was disappointing for certain aspects). This blog will be a window into the symbolism, the deep and troubled characters, and the beautiful gardens the "potato girls" work on.
