Blooming with warmth and heartbreak." --Brooke Lea Foster, author of Summer Darlings "The story-strands twine together like honeysuckle climbing up a trellis, sending out secrets and surprises all the way." --Jane Johnson, author of The Sea Gate and Court of Lions, This book was refreshing in a sea of much WWII fiction. At its heart, it is the story of friendship. In this case, three women who became each other's family and whose devotion is tested in a world changing through war and new roles for women. Heartwarming and compelling, it lifts the reader to a place of beauty and joy even as the shadows of impending war threaten to shatter life as they know it. New love, family secrets, and national loyalties shape the friendships. Though WWII fiction is a regular genre of mine, I felt that The Whispers of War elevated the human story of it in ways that felt brand new. And - as I always love to learn through historical fiction - I was pleased (and horrified) to learn about the extensiveness of internments and the darkness that fear and propaganda can harbor. Kelly touched on themes that are found throughout history, giving it a human face., Praise for The Last Garden in England "Kelly's novel encompasses everything I love in historical fiction: a dramatic setting depicted so vividly I could've sworn I was strolling through the gardens of Highbury House as I turned the pages, and a series of stories that intertwine each other effortlessly, echoing the theme of love lost and found.

Blooming with warmth and heartbreak." --Brooke Lea Foster, author of Summer Darlings, Praise for The Whispers of War "Julia Kelly's story about the bonds of female friendship threatened by senseless government policies is timeless and moving, and her trio of heroines had my heart from the start. A gripping tale by a writer at the top of her game.", Praise for The Last Garden in England "[A] touching, immersive read with definite appeal for aficionados of Downton Abbey and Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows' The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (2008)...Subplots involving love, loss, and hope for new beginnings gracefully intertwine, and readers will be enraptured by the garden theme...Like gardens themselves, these pages invite lingering and thoughtful reflection." -- Booklist "Julia Kelly's captivating novel, The Last Garden in England , is as immersive as it is enchanting...Historical fiction at its very best." -- Patti Callahan, New York Times bestselling author of Becoming Mrs. Lewis "Three women across time are connected by a garden in Kelly's enjoyable and richly detailed latest...Kelly balances Emma's detective work reviewing papers and records found in the house with Venetia's slow-burn tragedy and the twist that defines Beth's relationship to the gardens.

Julia Kelly weaves a tender romantic story around a girl who fights war showing how strong even tender, romantic women can be. With a bit of mystery in the story, even mystery-readers will like it., Kelly skillfully balances narratives from all three friends' perspectives...Women's friendship overcomes the villainy of war in this engaging historical fiction., Praise for The Last Garden in England "Julia Kelly's captivating novel, The Last Garden in England , is as immersive as it is enchanting.
