Animal, Vegetable or Mineral?: The Peculiar Tale of a Middle-Aged Woman and What She Grew in her Garden

Monica has lived a small, quiet life, bringing up her only daughter alone. After her daughter emigrates, she moves back to her suburban home town to care for her elderly mother. Eventually, in a moment of clarity, she takes control of her life and then pours all her love and attention into her garden. Freeing herself from convention she finds a capacity for both compassion and violence. A morally ambiguous story unfurls in an English garden where horticulture, fairytale and biochemistry collide.
