This book is part of a two parter really, even though the story kind of stands on its own, it is the follow up to Earthly Joys. Where the first book follows the John Tradescant the Older in his career as gardener to the King, this book follows his son who inherits his father collection of plants and also his love and skill with the. John however gets to travel to America in search of new plants where he meets native Indians and falls in love with their lifestyle.
As usual Philippa Gregory writes with style and grace, and I found myself falling into the story and living the adventure.
