This is the 4th book of Jio's that I've read. I enjoyed it but it wasn't as good as the other 3. This one takes place in 2 different time periods, the 1940's and present day. There is a mystery that surrounds an exotic and rare flower, a pink cammelia, that joins the 2 stories. In the first story, a woman named Flora takes a job as a nanny in England to help out her aging parents who are struggling financially. The 2nd story is about Addison, a woman who accompanies her husband to his parents recently purchased
English manor in order to run away from her past. In both stories there were characters who weren't fleshed out enough and if they had been perhaps I would have understood and enjoyed the ending better. All in all a good read.
