Just Arrived

Gifted and Talented

by Wendy Holden
RM44.00 MYR
Gifted and Talented
Gifted and Talented

Campus chaos, gardening, gossip, and second chances

This feels like the perfect read if you like witty British comedy with a warm, romantic streak. Wendy Holden mixes academic satire, social-climbing students, and garden drama in a way that sounds deliciously sharp but never mean-spirited. Diana’s fresh start gives the story a lovely heart, so you get both laugh-out-loud chaos and that satisfying hope that happiness might still bloom.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Welcome to Branston College, an academic institution in the heart of an ancient university town. Our architecture might not feature dreaming spires, but the central dome nonetheless casts a characterful shadow. Amenities include a distinctive subterranean bar and a newly renovated garden where you can observe local wildlife. Diana is starting a new life as gardener at Branston, a challenging restoration project which allows her to indulge a love of delphiniums beneath the disconcerting gaze of dishy but remote Richard, the recently widowed College Master. A new term brings new students, among them It Girl Amber, darling of the gossip columns and dead ringer for inclusion in the university's notorious elite society. As lustful teenagers and crabby tutors run riot in Diana's garden, her peaceful haven is trampled, and then a blast from the past threatens to ruin a new romance. Can anything save Diana's hard-won happiness, let alone her herbaceous borders?
