The Last Garden in England by Julia Kelly follows a tried and true approach of telling a story through different timelines and different characters with one unifying theme that carries through. All three stories are interesting and compelling in their own way as each focuses on a different central issue. As someone interested in plants and gardens, I find the the theme of the garden also fascinating.

A wonderful tale of five women living across three different times whose lives are all connect by one very special place - an elaborate garden in the countryside of England. Spans generations and time periods. I did have a little trouble at first with the chapters switching between characters. Very enjoyable read!!
An interesting and captivating read that centers around a unique garden that connects women from three different eras (1907, 1944, and 2021).

I loved the vivid descriptions of the garden, as they painted fun visuals in my mind. I actually felt like a fly on the garden's walls!
-
And while the characters overall felt a bit underdeveloped and flat to me, I still really enjoyed all of the other aspects of this well-written book!

Enjoyed the book a lot - read it when I was looking for something that was a little light and had a happy ending. Love the books that show what life was/is like for the English gentry and what their manners dictate and this one delivered. Characters were interesting, you did care what happened to them and yes, it was a happy ending. I do recommend.
