â€œVon Arnimâ€™s voice is so utterly charming, warm, witty and insightful that each page is a delight to readâ€ Book Snob

'She has a wild sense of comedy and a vision continually thwarted though it was of potential happiness' Penelope Mortimer

â€œBetween Elizabeth and her German Garden and this follow-up, I am not sure which one I enjoyed better. Perhaps I enjoyed her meandering writing a little more this time around, because I knew what to expect and so I could appreciate the small details better.â€ Iris on Books

â€œAnd so Iâ€™d slip into Solitary Summer and suddenly my vision is filled with flowers, roses, pansies, sweet peas, and the scent, oh I can almost smell them! I feel myself relaxing and by the time my commuter train pulls into my stop, I am grinning. And while it doesnâ€™t last all day, I do find myself thinking of flowers and gardening and I begin to feel sick with spring fever.â€ Somanybooksblog.com

THE SOLITARY SUMMER is the sequel to the brilliant â€˜Elizabeth and her German Gardenâ€™. It continues the best-selling story of Elizabeth who marries a German aristocrat and goes to live on his country estate where she falls in love with the garden she creates. In this book she decides she wants to spend a summer alone, without the usual guests, to concentrate on her garden and reading. Inspired by von Arnimâ€™s real life marriage, it is a unique and witty picture of a magical place and time.

Elizabeth von Arnim was called â€˜the smartest woman of her centuryâ€™ by H. G. Wells, and her books have been referred to on â€˜Downtown Abbeyâ€™. She was voted the most neglected female author in a poll by Radio 4 listeners. She is the author of â€œThe Enchanted Aprilâ€ and â€œVeraâ€ amongst other novels.
