About this ebook
With six weeks until the reopening gala at Leicester's neglected Abbey Park Conservatory, translator Amalia Voss is brought in to recreate the citrus wing's multilingual plant labels. Tomás Berwick needs the living trees, broken irrigation, and public displays ready in time, but Amalia's careful research quickly proves that the old labels have hidden as much as they preserved. As sponsor pressure mounts to make the conservatory easier to sell as a cheerful attraction, Amalia and Tomás uncover donor letters, mistranscribed names, and immigrant histories rooted in the glasshouse. Between cracked tiles, damaged pipes, a missing orangery key, and the fear of getting the restoration wrong, their wary partnership grows into something steadier. To save the citrus wing's future, they must decide whether restoration means polishing the past into something comfortable, or telling the truth well enough for new life to take root.
