About this listen
From the best-selling author of The Tuscan Child and the Her Royal Spyness series comes a beautiful, heart-rending novel of a woman’s love and sacrifice set during the First World War. The tender tale is exquisitely performed by Saskia Maarleveld, a narrator with over 325 audiobooks—including multiple AudioFile Earphones Award-winners—to her name.
As the Great War continues to take a devastating toll on the globe, Emily Bryce meets Robbie, a cheeky and handsome Australian pilot who is set to be deployed to the frontlines. After a whirlwind romance, the two fall in love and marry. After Robbie ships out, Emily volunteers as a land girl, tending to the neglected grounds of a large Devonshire estate. Not long after, however, Emily receives devastating news; Robbie has been killed in the line of duty. Grief-stricken, Emily—who has just discovered that she is pregnant—turns to an unexpected source of hope. In the pages of a long-forgotten journal from a medicine woman who devoted her life to the gardens she now tends, she finds not only comfort and solace—but perhaps a path to her destiny.

I found myself getting involved with the characters wishing to shout at the vicars wife and the spiteful cook. I would have liked to learn if Justin and Emily got together

During The Great War, Emily Bryce meets Robbie, who when he is healed, is off to the front line. He is a pilot from Australia & the two are drawn together.
Unlike the books description, have they read it, they do not marry although they plan to. He dies & she is pregnant.
Emily has volunteered as a land girl - has the person writing this resume, read the book!
The lady of the big house, agrees that they should pretend that Emily is married.
There is a section where she suddenly decides that she can make potions, of course they go wrong.
All in all, Emily has a good life despite her baby.
It could have been stronger & the person writing the brief description of the book, could have read it!
Topical Title.
