The Last Camellia by Sarah Jio
3.0
There are two story lines here: one set in 2000 and one set in 1940 as England enters WWII. Both stories take place at the Livingston Estate where are storied garden still stands after all of these years. Addison and her husband Rex visit there to relax and take a break from their busy New York lives, but, really, Addison is escaping secrets from her past that she hopes don't follow her across the pond.
In the 1940's, Flora takes at job at the estate to locate a rare camellia rumored to be on the premises. Flora arrives at the estate to be a nanny to the four children, but soon finds that her effort to locate the camellia may come at a cost.
There is mystery and suspense here in the right amounts, and, like all Jio novels, everything falls into place in the end.
