Title: The Garden of Forgotten Dreams

Level: Intermediate (B2)


#Story :

Clara, a quiet woman with a simple life, unexpectedly inherits an old mansion from her mysterious great-aunt Eleanor Whitfield. Upon arriving, she discovers a locked garden hidden behind tall hedges, called The Garden of Forgotten Dreams. Drawn by curiosity and a strange sense of familiarity, Clara finds a hidden key and unlocks the garden gate. Inside, the air is thick with magic and memories. There, she meets Elias, a man who reveals he has been waiting for her return. Clara soon discovers that she once lived another life as the young woman who loved both Elias and the garden. The garden holds all her forgotten dreams, and Elias has protected them through time. Faced with a choice, Clara must decide whether to return to her ordinary life or stay forever in the garden, where love and dreams never fade. In the end, she chooses to remain, embracing her past, her memories, and the love she once lost.
