Teoh Yun Ling, a young woman in war-torn Malaya, first learns of Aritomo and his legendary garden as a teenager. A decade later, she seeks out the former Imperial gardener of Japan, driven by a poignant mission: to create a memorial for her sister, a victim of Japanese brutality. As Yun Ling immerses herself in Aritomo's teachings, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, unearthing secrets intertwined with her nation's tumultuous past.

Tan Twan Eng's "The Garden of Evening Mists" is a masterful tapestry of artistry, conflict, passion, and remembrance. This internationally acclaimed novel, shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and winner of the Man Asian Literary Prize and Walter Scott Prize, paints a vivid portrait of a dark chapter in history with exquisite prose and remarkable depth.

A selection for BBC TWO's Between the Covers Book Club, this compelling narrative weaves together the delicate art of gardening with the harsh realities of war, creating a story as intricate and beautiful as the garden at its heart. Eng's work is a testament to the power of memory and the enduring human spirit in the face of unspeakable tragedy.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
