Description: "In 1923, a young New York socialite named Iris abandons America for the lavish garden of a Belgian castle, where she is courted first by Teddy, an idealistic young banker, and then by Marc, an embittered veteran of the Great War. In 1934, after Iris' death, Teddy and Marc find themselves back in Belgium, fighting over the garden they have inherited from her, and fighting over a woman who looks almost exactly like her. In 1947, the sons of Teddy and Marc meet each other in the garden, along with a free-spirited oil man's daughter named Holly, in one last attempt to settle old scores and set the spirits of the castle at rest, once and for all."--P.[4] of cover.
