She describes gzrdens, observes nature, exposes human mind and emotion; and these things combined is her story which is uncommon yet at the same time fascinating. The woman who became Simon’s wife, Eleanor, has a different memory of the gardens, a much earlier one, when she and other little girls sat near the lake with their easels, painting pictures of the water lilies.
