Kali Wallace. Botanical Exercises for Curious Girls. (Fantasy & Science Fiction, Mar/Apr 2011).

Excellent story from an author new to me.

Young Rosalie lives a very sheltered life, wheelchair-bound, house-bound. But there’s something strange happenning – during each day a whole year passes in the garden she longingly looks out on through the windows. And her governesses are passing strange.

We find out more about Rosalie, and the fantasy takes a darker tone, in a lovingly crafted story.
