Publisher's Synopsis
It's 1941 and the war rumbles on. Nowhere is immune to the effects of war, not even Ambridge. But in England's favourite village, something else is occupying the residents...When a prominent villager dies, the main beneficiary's name is a mystery, and no one knows who is set to inherit the estate. Five separate bequests will be made to different people over the course of the following year - one plant, and one personal item, each. The very last one will be the key to Woodbine Cottage. And the plants are clues to the identity of the person who will receive that key...
