À propos de cet audio
Inspired by real events, a touching novel about a new class of courageous women who worked at London’s historic Kew Gardens during World War II.
In the face of war, gardening is their duty…When Daisy Cooper’s new husband joins the RAF to fight the Battle of Britain, she’s terrified she’s going to lose him. So when her mother Ivy suggests she join the gardeners at Kew to keep busy, Daisy’s intrigued. After all, Ivy worked at Kew during the last great war and made lifelong friends along the way. Louisa Armitage, not ready to hang up her gardening gloves just yet, and Beth Sanderson, an aspiring doctor looking to make a difference, decide to enlist as well. When tragedy strikes, the women are forced to come together to support one other during their darkest hours. But can the Kew Gardens Girls survive the horrors of war-torn London this time?

“Emotional…The horrible reality of war is on full display in this engrossing story, which Lovell enhances with a visceral sense of bombs falling and terrible news arriving via telegrams. This has “movie option” written all over it.” –Publishers Weekly
“Complex relationships and overarching social issues unite in this sequel to Posy Lovell’s The Kew Gardens Girls. It’s a wonderful novel that can be read on its own, and fans of the first book will be delighted to become reacquainted with Louisa and Teddy, Ivy and Jim, and a number of other reminiscences from the first novel.” –Historical Novels Review
