This was the second book that I had read by Sarah Jio and I enjoyed it very much. Her earlier book The Violets of March was a great read as well, but I felt that you could really see how much she had grown as an author in this second selection.
The Last Camellia is a story told from two different perspectives. We meet Flora, who is traveling to England just prior to the beginning of World War II, to work as a nanny but her real purpose is to help flower thieves locate the elusive Middlebury Pink Camellia which is believed to be located on the estate. Flora uncovers mysterious happenings at the estate. We also meet Addison in present day who travels to the same estate and learns that some of those same mysteries were never solved. This is great book for fans of historical fiction.
