Once an Edenic orchid farm, it has been decimated by the worst hurricane in Florida's living memory. Its glasshouses are shattered, the surrounding mangroves encroach, and its men are dangerously idle. When Romeo - an expert breeder of the endangered ghost orchid - arrives from Honduras, boss Blanchard and his Irish lieutenant, Swallow, believe their fortunes are on the rise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRomeo may not be all he seems though, and Swallow can sense the newcomer shaking the Garden's creaking hierarchy. The ghost orchid they seek is infamously rare, a delicate and wildly valuable species, hidden deep in the treacherous cypress swamps of the Fakahatchee Strand. To capture the ghost, Blanchard and Swallow must strike a deal with Logan, a dangerously unpredictable member of the local Seminole tribe, whose wounded pride, and simmering web of violence threaten to uproot any hope of success. As Blanchard's obsession distracts him from what is truly precious, Swallow's long-buried traumas will test his ability to stop lust, betrayal and death from engulfing the Garden.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaul Perry's first solo novel tells of smothering power, loyalty and agency thwarted by the tragic patterns of memory and behaviour. \u003ci\u003eThe Garden\u003c\/i\u003e is a modern fable, and a warning against trespassing upon nature in the name of profit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Perry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848407998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848407992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Island Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Paul Perry","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075078811903,"sku":"9781848407992","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2db801db-147e-446c-83cf-5b287c7ab33f.jpg?v=1685457481","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-garden-paul-perry-9781848407992","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
