The Kew Gardens Girls by Posy LovellMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The Kew Gardens is a real place in England, and the Kew Gardens girls are real people. Lovell sets out to tell their story through a few fictional women meant to represent those girls and the work they did in the gardens during WWI. The book is just okay - some good moments, but the pacing is clunky and some of the dialogue overwrought.
I appreciated the insight into a historical detail I don't know much about, and I think someone who loves gardening might like this book more than I did.
Thank you to Penguin Random House and Netgalley for the ARC of this book.
Happy reading and enjoy all the spring flowers--
