3,5 stars 
 It's a sweet and very quite story, where the first half is just an old woman and her garden. At some point it turnes into a weird magical realism thing. I liked the story, but I didn't love it. I did like the first half with the tomato-sandwiches better - possibly because I like Vernon writing about gardening. And it was easier to understand what was going on. 
 It is the sequel to Jackalope Wives
