I enjoyed reading this book. When I read first part of this book I felt fed up with Mary because of her personality. However as I finished reading, I realized that she is a good girl actually. (

A poor little girl whose parents both died was sent to her uncle's big house. The house was silent , dark , and neared the moor. While both the little girl and her uncle were so disagreeable and bad-tempered , they didn't like each other at all. But after the little girl found a locked garden which was hidden behind the trees, things were changed. And at last, the garden recovered , so did the people's heart. The girl's uncle finally got out of the shadow of his wife's dead, and the girl lived a happy life with her uncle and cousin. As everyone can see, the one which was locked was not the garden , it was the hearts. And open a lock need a key, open a heart , as the same, need patience, and warm. (
