Book
The last garden in England / Julia Kelly.
"From the author of The Light Over London and the "gripping, moving" (Kelly Rimmer) The Whispers of War comes a poignant and heartwrenching tale of five women in three eras, whose lives are tied together by one very special garden"-- Provided by publisher.
Present day: Emma Lovell has dedicated her career to breathing new life into long-neglected gardens. Now she has the chance of a lifetime: to restore the gardens of the famed Highbury House. But as Emma dives deeper into the gardens' past, she begins to uncover secrets that have long lain buried. 1907: Talented and ambitious, Venetia Smith is the garden designer to the newly wealthy looking to show off their sumptuous country houses. When she arrives at Highbury House, she is determined to make the gardens a triumph, never expecting that they will change her life forever. 1944: All land girl Beth Pedley wants at Highbury is a place to call home. Cook Stella Adderton, on the other hand, is desperate to break free of Highbury House's pull, while the widowed mistress of the grand house, Diana Symonds, clings to her pre-war life as her home is turned into a convalescent hospital. But within the walls of Highbury House's treasured gardens looms a secret that will tie these women together for decades. -- Inside jacket.
