piepieb 's review for:

The Last Garden in England by Julia Kelly

4.0

---

This book has THREE timelines, and many, MANY characters. Once I "settled in" and found the groove of the story, it was easy to get invested in the characters' lives. I'm not a gardener, at all, but I loved all the descriptions of nature and plants and how a very special garden -- and a unique rose! -- linked three women together across history. This book made me want to learn even more about the "land girls" of WWII. Lovers and readers of historical fiction (think Kate Quinn and Kate Morton) will really enjoy this one.

Thank you, Netgalley, for my arc.
