Description
"Sarah, nosy-but-nice English teaching fellow, and her husband, Alex, are at it again." "Due to an unfortunate accident that incapacitates a friend, Sarah's abrasive aunt Julia is offered two free tickets with Whirlaway Tours. After much arguing and little listening, Sarah finds herself serving as Julia's companion for the trip." "Eyebrows are raised, however, when the group meets in Boston's Logan Airport and Ellen Trevino, the tour's garden expert, doesn't show. Sarah begins to worry that show more Ellen's problem may be worse than a delayed connecting flight.

- Epigraph
- Lillies will languish; violets look ill;
Sickly the prim-rose; pale the daffadill;
That gallant tulip will hang down his head,
Like to a virgin newly ravished,
Pansies will weep; and marigolds will wither;
And ... (show all)keep a fast, and funerall together...
--"The Sadness of Things,"
The Lyrical Poems of Robert Herrick - Dedication
- For my daughter, Margaret,
without whose prodding I would never have trudged through
a hundred European gardens and to
my granddaughter, eight-year-old Louisa,
who cheerfully endured although she has now sworn
... (show all)never to look at another flower. - First words
- Lillian Garth couldn't concentrate.
- Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)"And," added Julia, with a sidelong glance at her niece, "only a few icebergs have been reported on our route."
