This is the third book by Sarah Jio that I have read. I am really grateful for the chance to read this one. This book follows Flora, an American living in England in the 1940s, and Addison, a garden designer who goes to England to try and escape her dark past.It took me longer than the other books by Sarah Jio that I have read to really get hooked into this one. It just took me a little while to connect with the characters. I really enjoyed that while Flora and Addison's stories were different eventually we get to see just how similar they really are. As far as the mystery as to the events that occurred at Livingston Manor is concerned I felt that at least half of it was easy to figure due to some foreshadowing in chapter nine (I don't want to spoil anything but all I am going to say is it involves a dog). I do have to admit that there were some twists about the events at Livingston Manor that I didn't see coming from a mile away.Overall I really enjoyed this book. It was filled with characters that I really felt for, and it has some masterful twists that had my jaw dropping. I am definitely excited to read more from Sarah Jio.[I received this book from a Librarything Early Reviewers giveaway. That does not affect the content of my review in any way.]
