An interesting historical novel with interrelated timelines in 1908, 1944, and 2021 in England. The 1908 story is about a famous female garden designer working on a big project, the 1944 story is about a young woman serving as a "land girl," helping to work a farm while the men are at war, and in 2021, a modern-day garden designer is hired to recreate a historic garden (you guessed it, the same one designed by the woman in 1908). My book group enjoyed it, and I liked seeing how the different stories connected. I talk about it more in this video, starting at 4:41: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNXtRhxN6Ws

I loved this book! After a few so so books in a row it was great to read one I just loved. I really enjoyed how interrelated all the plots and characters were. I just couldn't put it down and kept guessing at what was to come. Such a great and interesting read and a story that follows 3 generations of interrelated characters. This book is very "but wait, there's more !" but in a good way.
