This book grabbed me just based on its premise alone: Three different women, one in present day, one in 1907 and one in 1944, all tied together by Highbury House and its vast garden. I really enjoyed how each character and time period brought its own unique perspective and how they were connected by the home and gardens. Normally in these types of stories, I'm drawn slightly more to one character over another, but truly this book had all timelines and storylines on equal footing. It was so interesting to read about the challenges the women faced and how they each handled their own adversity differently. I think readers will identify with at least one character, if not several characters, in the novel.
If you are a historical fiction fan, or simply enjoy a moving story, I highly recommend The Last Garden in England. I also think it would make for an engaging and interesting book club discussion as well. A five star read for me.
