If you love gardening and historical fiction, this is the book for you. Set in 3 time periods, 1907, 1944, and present day. This story revolves around a beautifully designed garden established in 1907 and restored in the present day. In 1944 the house was requisitioned as a war hospital. Full of love and loss, this story explores sacrifice and how to gauge what is worth your personal risk. I really enjoyed that although this is a WWII story, the 1907 element was largely at play as well. Plus the WWII timeline has a lot of Downton Abbey vibes. Overall the women in each of the timelines are empowering themselves to make their own choices and forge their own paths. They each are very different, but the theme of choosing your own adventure is strong.
