The Guacamole Tree
A Novel by Margaret Ranger
Jeffrey lives at number 48. He works
from home and keeps his garden borders tidy and his small world under control.
Francine, a single mother and
self-employed caterer, lives across the road at number 49. Her garden is a
little on the wild side. Her seven-year-old son Sam cultivates running beans, a
wormery and a guacamole tree.
Ernest comes and goes from the
neighborhood. Although he claims to be a real plantsman, his own garden remains
a mystery. Jeffrey regards Ernest as a living botanical treasure but worries
others won’t see past his ramshackle exterior.
The Guacamole Tree explores the interwoven life of a New Zealand
neighbourhood, and how relationships unfold with the seasons. It exposes the
gap between how we see ourselves and how others see us. It unearths the power
of belief and the consequences of a well-turned garden.
The Guacamole Tree is now available in e-book format. Follow the
