Michael Cunningham's luminous novel begins with a vision. It's November 2004. Barrett Meeks, having lost love yet again, is walking through Central Park when he is inspired to look up at the sky; there he sees a pale, translucent light that seems to regard him in a distinctly godlike way. Barrett doesn't believe in visions—or in God—but he can't deny what he's seen. At the same time, in the not-quite-gentrified Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, Tyler, Barrett's older brother, a struggling musician, is trying—and failing—to write a wedding song for Beth, his wife-to-be, who is seriously ill.

If you could sum up The Rose Garden in three words, what would they be?
Great Story Telling
Who was your favorite character and why?

What does Nicola Barber bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Emotion and personality of each character
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
3 steps backwards is sometimes better than 1 step forward
Any additional comments?
I hope Susanna Kearsley writes more novels soon
