Bookroo's summary

In a crumbling English manor, two Irish siblings find work, only to uncover a chilling secret. As a mysterious spectre looms, they must unravel an ancient curse threatening their lives. Will they escape the sinister grip of the Night Gardener, or become its next victims? Dive into a tale where greed and storytelling intertwine, testing the limits of courage and survival.

From the publisher

A New York Times bestseller, The Night Gardener is a Victorian ghost story with shades of Washington Irving and Henry James. More than just a spooky tale, it’s also a moral fable about human greed and the power of storytelling.

The Night Gardener follows two abandoned Irish siblings who travel to work as servants at a creepy, crumbling English manor house. But the house and its family are not quite what they seem. Soon the children are confronted by a mysterious spectre and an ancient curse that threatens their very lives.
