Five-star review for Where the Sea Lavender Grows by Kitty Johnson
A semisweet book about two sisters, Lilias and Ruth living in
the countryside in England who take in a boy and his mother who were evacuated
from London during WWII and the connection to a modern day young woman, Elise, who is grieving the loss of her son and is
restoring the house in North Suffolk where the sisters had lived. Each of the
characters is lovingly written. The descriptions of the area pull the reader
in. Add a bit of history, a touch of mystery, and even of architecture and you
have a very good read. The back and forth in time wasn’t ever jarring.
Definitely worth reading.
