Eh. Loved the other two. This one dragged on and on. Started skimming and eventually just looked up the ending.

Thank you NetGalley and Ballentine Books for the advanced reading copy of Sunflower Sisters.

I have loved this entire series and the concluding book did not disappoint!

This is the story of Georgy Woosley Caroline Ferriday's great aunt and her Civil War. We follow Georgy and her 6 sisters, brother and mother through their Civil War stories. This wonderfully rich narrative leaves you not wanting the book to end.
Along the way we meet Jemma a slave at a plantation in Maryland and follow her on her journey through slavery and a poor economy of war. Jemma shares more than her share of tragedies related to slavery and war.

This is one of my all time favorite books as are Lilac Girls and Lost Roses. A must read for historical fiction lovers!
