Beskrivelse
In a park in an antipodean city in the 1930s a teenaged boy starts work as an apprentice nurseryman.It's an idyllic world. Patient and unhurried, with a pace as predictable as the seasons. A miniature version of the pre-war colonial empire lying just beyond the park gates. But as secure as the park may seem it can't protect anyone, least of all Tommy, from the changing world outside.There's a war coming. An unwanted baby and heartbreaking changes at home. Through it all the park is a constant. A companion, a teacher, a home and a friend. With it he grows, learning wisdom and patience, as the park brings him friendship, love, knowledge and family. Friendships that will take him far away from home; family that will nurture him throughout his life; and the knowledge to finally understand the park's mysterious white gate.
