Honeysuckle Season

By: Mary Ellen Taylor

Narrated by: Megan Tusing

An Amazon Charts best seller

From best-selling author Mary Ellen Taylor comes a story about profound loss, hard truths, and an overgrown greenhouse full of old secrets.

Adrift in the wake of her father's death, a failed marriage, and multiple miscarriages, Libby McKenzie feels truly alone. Though her new life as a wedding photographer provides a semblance of purpose, it's also a distraction from her profound pain.

When asked to photograph a wedding at the historic Woodmont estate, Libby meets the owner, Elaine Grant. Hoping to open Woodmont to the public, Elaine has employed young widower Colton Reese to help restore the grounds and asks Libby to photograph the process. Libby is immediately drawn to the old greenhouse shrouded in honeysuckle vines.

As Libby forms relationships and explores the overgrown - yet hauntingly beautiful - Woodmont estate, she finds the emotional courage to sort through her father's office. There she discovers a letter that changes everything she knows about her parents, herself, and the estate. Beneath the vines of the old greenhouse lie generations of secrets, and it's up to Libby to tend to the fruits born of long-buried seeds.

Enjoyable, easy reading/listening

I liked that part of the story was set in present day with current social media, and dialog that sounds like you are just having a conversation with your friend.

Good listen/read

I started this under the impression it was a continuation is Spring House & Winter Cottage. Not that there was a connection except in my head 🤦🏻‍♀️. It is another historical vs present read. I am not fond of them but this one was done well.

I really enjoyed this book!

Such a good book. I would recommend. Good amount of romance and great back story. Just really enjoyed the book.

The Characters were really good!

The story captured me from the start. Iwas cheering for the characters and so into their feelings. I loved the two time periods and how they related through the generations of the characters.

Great listen!

Again, a "time jump" novel. Good story but jumping from 1942 t0 2020 became somewhat tedious.
