The Last Garden in England
by Julia Kelly
This novel details the relationship between a garden and various women from its beginning through restoration. The story is told through multiple timelines: 1907, when Venetia Smith has been commissioned to create a new garden at Highbury House; 1944 — and how Highbury House and three women living there deal with WWII; and the present, when Emma Lovett is hired to work on restoring the garden. Kelly is able to tie all of these time periods together quite well, all the while letting the reader become involved in the lives of the various women connected to the garden, as we’ll as some of the “secrets” the garden holds.
Overall, this was an interesting and very enjoyable read. It is the first book by Julia Kelly that I have read, and I look forward to reading other by her. Thanks to the author and to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC.
