Jos is like no one Nicholas has ever met before and he instantly holds him in high regard.

Encouraged by his butler, Garcia, Brande becomes convinced that Jos is not the person he pretends to be. Blinded by love and jealousy, how far will Brande go to secure his sons affections? In the magnificent narrative tradition of The Citadel, The Stars Look Down and Cronins other classic novels, The Spanish Gardener is a great book by a much-loved author.
