The suburbanites Acampora describes in her fictional town of Old Cranbury are people with deep and often painful longings, hidden (and not so hidden) insecurities and vices. These stories were crafted by a writer whose keen eye misses little, an observer who truly understands how life can trap, bolster or baffle us as we go through our days. As a suburbanite (and ex-city dweller) I felt like I could see parts of myself laid bare by her stories, displayed by a hand that deftly walked the line between compassion and ruthlessness. Acampora's writing is sharp and eloquent, nothing wasted, so while each story flies by, you are left wishing you could stay beyond the few hours or days she allows us to see. And the lines that connect each character’s little universe, criss-crossing in surprising and satisfying ways, remind the reader that in these communities we make for ourselves, despite what separates us, we are always connected and inexorably drawn to each. A must read!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I loved this book *by C***D on Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2015* I loved this book. The characters are all unique and so busy navigating their way through life in a town where most people would aspire to live. However, once they are settled in Old Cranbury life's problems catch up to them. Each story reveals a new character with his or her own private secrets. These individual characters will reappear in subsequent stories about another resident of Old Cranbury who has a secret to hide. Individuals in this small town play a role in each other's lives. This book is most enjoyable to read not just because of the characters' unique situation, but especially worth while due to the quality of the writing. It is beautifully written and a delight for a reader who values excellent writing. I highly recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elegant and Precise *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2018* This truly is elegant and precise writing in the "sub-genre," if you will, of suburban fiction, and it ranks up there with the work of Updike, Cheever, Richard Ford, and the like. I found it hard to believe that this was a first effort, so mature in both style and substance it was. In my opinion, Acampora's prose style equals that of F. Scott Fitzgerald's. I'm looking forward to her new novel. As an aside, the one-star reviewers here apparently have brought the wrong expectation to "Wonder Garden." It seems most of them thought they were going to read a novel rather than a series of interlinked short stories. And they were looking for the kind of tidy wrap-up that only happens in certain kinds of popular fiction. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/178585199-the-wonder-garden](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/178585199-the-wonder-garden) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
