Reader Review of Eden's Keepers
in Review, Eden's Keepers
Liz Hoggard, Arts Journalist and Judge for the 2022 Comedy Women In Print Book Prize.
‘We may think we invented complex modern relationships but Eden's Keepers, detailing the 40-year ‘miraculous friendship’ between an elegant older woman and a younger gay man, is original and inspiring. Set against the backdrop of the 20th century and two world wars, taking in everything from the Bloomsbury Set to the founding of the WI, this is biography at its most compelling. Not only did Nancy Tennant and Humphrey Waterfield create a series of beautiful gardens together (their own version of earthly paradise), they pioneered a new way of living. There are many ways to love - without jealousy and fear - and their refusal to be judged by society enriches all of us today. Surely a film or TV series must be in the works!’
