Book One of The Compleat Gardener Series
by Edeana Malcolm
The Serpentine Garden Path is the first book in a series of novels called "The Compleat Gardener." It is based on the true story of the author's ancestors. Susan Dean falls in love with her father's gardener John Dean and begins a saga that spans four novels. This first book, set in eighteenth century England and Scotland, relates her "riches to rags" romance.
I write historical fiction, often, but not always, based on family history.
Edeana Malcolm has written nine historical novels. Her latest, Maid of Gold, published in 2024, is set in the 1850s and tells the story of a couple from Quebec City who travel to the Australian Gold Rush in Melbourne and then return home again circumnavigating the world by sailing ship. It is based on one of the stories of her ancestors.
