Ilonka's garden

In this brief but emotionally intense memoir Gabrielle de la Fair returns to her childhood and within the moments of retrospection, she shows us the real heroism of a woman – who undoubtedly – was the most significant person in her life – her grandmother. 

Ilonka - a tender name for a gentle woman. She spent most of her life in the silence of her own world but brought for the people she loved and cared for a gift of strength and power. 

Surprisingly, they were hidden in her warm smile and in the boundless abundance, she created with her perseverance and benevolent heart. 

A memoir of one unsung heroine.
