Summary
It’s the last day of the school term before the Summer holidays and after a terrible week, all Yasmin Khan, the school's Pastoral Support Officer, wants is to fly home to the nest and nestle beneath her mother’s wing. Her parents’ idyllic country cottage 'Swallow’s Rest' couldn’t be a more perfect place for Yaz to unwind and forget her troubles. For one blissful month, she’ll have her dinners prepared for her, fresh-scented bedding provided, and coffee set on the kitchen table before she’s even sat down for breakfast. Just Yaz, her doting mother, her eccentric father, and her lovingly teasing little sister… Oh. And chaos incarnate in navy dungarees: the Khans' gardener, Jesse Smith.
"Where you tend a rose, my lad, A thistle cannot grow.”
― Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden
