À 17 ans, Aleisha travaille dans la petite bibliothèque de son quartier : un job d’été tranquille qui lui permet de reprendre son souffle loin de sa mère bipolaire. Elle, qui ne lit que très peu, s’y ennuie terriblement jusqu’au jour où elle découvre une mystérieuse liste de lecture en rangeant un exemplaire de Ne tirez pas sur l’oiseau moqueur.

In a small pocket of the city, between the houses of No.77 and No.79 on Eastbourne Road, there’s a neglected community garden. Once vibrant and welcoming, and a sanctuary for the people when they needed it most, the garden’s gate is firmly closed. But it only takes a small seed of an idea for big changes to happen. And as the neighbours’ need for connection grows, the twilight garden comes out of hibernation.

La giovane Aleisha è tutto fuorché una lettrice accanita. Da tempo, non si fida più dei libri perché l'hanno delusa. Eppure, il caso vuole che rimedi un lavoretto estivo in una biblioteca, dove l'unico modo per riempire i vuoti tra un avventore e l'altro è sfogliare qualche pagina. Un passatempo noioso se non fosse che una mattina compare Mukesh, un signore alla disperata ricerca di un contatto con la nipotina topo di biblioteca.
