The opening of the novel introduces the protagonist's desire for solitude, conveyed through a conversation with the "Man of Wrath," who critiques her plans for a solitary summer. She envisions a life removed from societal expectations, where she can enjoy the beauty of nature and reflect on her life. As she imagines her days spent in the garden, surrounded by the scents and sights of spring, the narrative captures her introspective thoughts and her interactions, detailing her past struggles with gardening and her longing for deeper self-connection. The beginning sets a whimsical tone, promising a journey of self-discovery amid nature's splendor.
