REVIEW FROM BOOKS FOR HER:

From early 1900s to WWII to current times, The Last Garden ties together multiple women across many generations through the history-rich gardens of Highbury House. The original creator of the garden in 1907, Venetia Smith, was a pioneer of her time and left her designs for a century of enjoyment. Then several women during World War II experienced the gardens much differently when the estate became a war hospital. And finally Emma Lovett, modern day history buff and garden-restorer, returns to uncover the secrets of the garden.

In this three-plot-line story – you’ll step into the shoes of many women at turning points in their lives – and history. The Last Garden is a great historical read – a way to dig into the new year with perspective from different generations and times.
