From the author of the international bestsellers The Light Over
London and The Whispers of War comes "a compelling read, filled
with lovable characters and an alluring twist of fates" (Ellen
Keith, author of The Dutch Wife) about five women living across
three different times whose lives are all connected by one very
special garden. Present day: Emma Lovett, who has dedicated her
career to breathing new life into long-neglected gardens, has just
been given the opportunity of a lifetime: to restore the gardens of
the famed Highbury House estate, designed in 1907 by her hero
Venetia Smith. But as Emma dives deeper into the gardens' past, she
begins to uncover secrets that have long lain hidden. 1907: A
talented artist with a growing reputation for her work, Venetia
Smith has carved out a niche for herself as a garden designer to
industrialists, solicitors, and bankers looking to show off their
wealth with sumptuous country houses. When she is hired to design
the gardens of Highbury House, she is determined to make them a
triumph, but the gardens--and the people she meets--promise to
change her life forever. 1944: When land girl Beth Pedley arrives
at a farm on the outskirts of the village of Highbury, all she
wants is to find a place she can call home. Cook Stella Adderton,
on the other hand, is desperate to leave Highbury House to pursue
her own dreams. And widow Diana Symonds, the mistress of the grand
house, is anxiously trying to cling to her pre-war life now that
her home has been requisitioned and transformed into a convalescent
hospital for wounded soldiers. But when war threatens Highbury
House's treasured gardens, these three very different women are
drawn together by a secret that will last for decades. "Gorgeously
written and rooted in meticulous period detail, this novel is
vibrant as it is stirring. Fans of historical fiction will fall in
love with The Last Garden in England" (Roxanne Veletzos, author of
The Girl They Left Behind).
