However, I was still pretty fascinated by the story and enjoyed getting to know each character and what life was like for them in their time period and social class. It's woven together quite nicely at the end- a story of loss and love.
The descriptions of the garden and various plants were soothing, but I wouldn't call this a cozy read, which is what I was originally expecting. I'd recommend this book if you enjoy multi timelines, light romance, WWII historical fiction, and generally happy and satisfying endings.

• Three timelines that were as interesting and strong as the next one.
My only complaint is that three timelines and five MCs meant that character development was not as strong as it could have been.
