The Girls in the Garden by Lisa Jewell

The Girls in the Garden  by Lisa Jewell


This is a modern novel of 2 families with teenage daughters that live in a  modern development in London. Both families have different lifestyles but what brings them together is the communal garden/park by their homes.

One family has been living their carefree lifestyle in the neighborhood for generations and the other has just moved in after a sad family situation.
The children of the two families plus a few other children gradually gravitate together and spend a lot of time at each other's homes and playing and meeting in the garden.

Then one of the girls is attacked in the park and falls into a coma.
The mystery is- who did this? and why has it happened?
An interesting book to read and will leave you guessing the answer until the very end of the book.
