Historically, it was interesting to me, because I knew nothing about the Land Girls in WWI. I’d heard about the nurses, therapists, etc., but I’d never heard of the Land Girls despite the incredibly valuable role they played in England during the war. The story is quite engrossing and you will hate to put it down because the trials and tribulations of the main character and her friends are so interesting and believable. I had just gone through all of Rhys Bowen’s “Her Royal Spyness” series and was sad that the next one doesn’t come out for several months, so I decided to explore her other works. I’m so glad I did, because this was a delight to read. I highly recommend this book as well as all of the “Her Royal Spyness” books. Now, I’m going to find some more of her works, which I suspect I will be recommending too. Review: Heavy on the romance, light on the history - This is a hishtorical fiction story but would be better labeled as a romance novel. There are mentions of the war, rationing, soldier/airmen dying, women stepping up to fill the jobs the men did, but mostly about a bored woman who finds herself while working as a farm hand and expecting a baby. Fate leads her to the estate of an elderly widow whose husband, son and grandson have all been killed in the war. Then it gets really interesting. The grandson returns as a POW, she's nearly arrested for attempted murder and the gardens are beginning to flourish due to her hand and knowledge. And it ends. You are left to write your own happily-ever-after ending. A good read. It just left me wanting a better ending. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #100,404 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #706 in Historical British & Irish Literature #888 in Literary Fiction (Books) #2,547 in Women's Domestic Life Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (53,675) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 1 x 8.25 inches | | Edition | First Edition Thus | | ISBN-10 | 1542040116 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1542040112 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 367 pages | | Publication date | February 12, 2019 | | Publisher | Lake Union Publishing | ## Images ![The Victory Garden: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51C78P5ADYL.jpg) ![The Victory Garden: A Novel - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51k2QZmZHvL.jpg) ![The Victory Garden: A Novel - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/918FZVINhfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an endearing book! *by J***K on July 19, 2024* This is a charming and engrossing book which, despite my being very busy, I gobbled it up in a few sittings.

There are mentions of the war, rationing, soldier/airmen dying, women stepping up to fill the jobs the men did, but mostly about a bored woman who finds herself while working as a farm hand and expecting a baby. Fate leads her to the estate of an elderly widow whose husband, son and grandson have all been killed in the war. Then it gets really interesting.

You are left to write your own happily-ever-after ending. A good read. It just left me wanting a better ending. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ just another wonderful book from Rhys Bowen *by W***S on September 6, 2025* Another book with incredibly well built characters. We readers are left liking or disliking characters based on who they become to us while reading the book. If you like reading good books with both lovable and despicable characters, you can depend on many hours of entertainment with the well written books of Rhys Bowen. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Victory Garden: A Novel - In Farleigh Field: A Novel of World War II - The Tuscan Child --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/103178557-the-victory-garden-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/103178557-the-victory-garden-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
