What a pleasure to watch. Just the right mixture of suspense and romance. You have to hate the "bad guy" who is thoroughly despicable and root for the hero who initially appears to be a bit of a cad. Some reviewers say the ending was contrived but I found it hopeful and yes, charming. The ex fiancé was cold and I was happy to see Brian shed of her. If you like love, fantasy and hope seamlessly blended together, give this movie a go!!!

I usually skip most TV movies these days because they're cheaply made with bad acting.Lifetime movies don't impress me at all and I refuse to watch them anymore.The Sci Fi channel will only make a decent movie once in a while with the gap between the good ones and the bad flicks getting wider and wider. I skip most of these as well.Hallmark can make a schmaltzy film like the rest of the television networks, but they do much, much better than many.....Why?I don't have the answer, but most of their movies are regarded by many as a much higher quality than so many other channels and this movie was no exception.It was really good.Edge Of The Garden reminded me instantly of The Lake House with Sandra Bullock. That movie however confused the heck out of me and after seeing it a couple of times, I still don't get it.Then, this movie had some aspects of Somewhere In Time with Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve.Not quite the same as either of those, but similar.This made for television story was done very well. A young woman from 1960 can somehow talk to the man who now lives in her house 50 years later.Any more than that would be spoilers.It's definitely a chick flick, but one of the better ones.Don't miss this. You'll be glad you didn't.Well worth the watch!

You have to give Hallmark some kudos for producing this tight little fantasy. And yes it is fantasy, not a ghost story, or a horror tale. The setting is really beautiful and a great job was done keeping things atmospheric but warm at the same time. I am really not a huge Hallmark movie fan but I enjoyed this very much. Probably deserves a seven and a half though, but I posted the eight. Very good cast, the acting was believable and energetic. My only problem with the entire thing was the ending, which it was OK. I think it would have had more impact if Norah had died a short while before the Estes character finally found her. I thought his meeting Norah and the Granddaughter at the same time was a bit awkward. All in all though this was a very enjoyable film that most everyone should enjoy. Give it a shot! The actor playing the abusive husband managed to really make me hate him...good job my man.

Breaking up with his fiancé and moving from San Francisco to Maine. Our hero buys a cottage. He didn't want to buy it, but something told him it was the right thing to do. Already, I'm wondering if this is for me.Our guy hears people talking in the house. You immediately wonder if there are ghosts. Then we are subjected to a couple living in the house and the year is 1960. Eventually, we find out that our lady, who has Lyme disease, meets an awful end at the hands of her abusive husband. She is communicating with our guy via fireplace in the living room.If this is more incredible, our guy's ex-fiancée suddenly shows up and reverses everything by throwing a love locket in the fire. Then, we're back in 2011 and another walk through the garden.Credibility is lacking here. This isn't even for the romantics. There is some good acting, especially the abusive husband.
