The Humming Room

CRITICS HAVE SAID

  • "Potter intentionally evokes the Secret Garden, capturing its bittersweet emotions and fey qualities. But it is not a clone in modern dress. The author has created a fresh tale with a strong-willed heroine." – Kirkus Reviews
  • "In a resonant novel inspired by The Secret Garden, Potter pays graceful tribute to the spirit of that classic" – Publishers Weekly
