RHAPSODY IN GREEN
Rhapsody in Green: A Novelist in the Garden is Charlotte's first, and probably last, non-fiction book. It's a portrait of tragic obsession: how a woman with a laughably tiny garden, no knowledge and absurdly high hopes became slave to an urban jungle, where she grows over 100 things to eat. It’s my garden: come in. Try not to laugh.

Praise for RHAPSODY IN GREEN
The Times - Gardening Books of the Year 2016: ‘The novelist Charlotte Mendelson is another skilled writer with a sense of humour, something she has applied to writing about her tiny north London garden. Rhapsody in Green chronicles her love affair with her space: not beautiful, not always successful, but hers. It should strike a chord with those also in the throes of a new passion for horticulture’
‘A novelist’s beautiful, useful essays about her tiny garden’ India Knight
‘Wonderful: a mad, passionate love of vegetables, fruit and a small city garden’ —Diana Henry
