You're asked to participate in a unique competition. I'm searching for the most fantastic, amazing, and outstanding pleasure garden this planet has to offer. Beatrice, 8, is invited to the magical Winter Garden on the night her mother passes away. Every night for seven days, she finds peace in the garden, a place of wonder and magic that is home to a wide variety of weird and amazing flora and wildlife. However, as the garden vanishes and no one takes her word for it, Beatrice is left to question whether it was actually real. 18 years later, Beatrice decides to defy Victorian English society's expectations and embark on a search for love on the eve of her wedding to a man her late father approved of but whom she does not love.
