The Artist of Blackberry Grange by Paulette Kennedy

I am giving this one, 5 stars purely because I enjoyed it so much! It was engaging in so many ways! Magical realism, time travel, love stories, and more!

My favorite quote: “But our memories, precious and clear, are beyond time. Eternal. They go on forever. And perhaps, some small part of us goes on too. It must.” – from the Epilogue

In 1925, Sadie’s life is upended with a failed engagement. Sadie finds that her great-aunt Marguerite is suffering from dementia. In hopes of finding new purpose, Sadie becomes a companion for Marg.

On an Arkansas bluff, Marg has a grand estate where she paints. Her portraits are hauntingly breathtaking.

Blackberry Grange holds childhood memories for Sadie and a world of family secrets with a past Marg is held captive to.

This one had so much! Lost loves, family secrets, betrayal, an endearing love story, magic, time travel and more! I loved every page! It captivated me- I couldn’t put it down! 5/5⭐

I would like to Thank NetGalley for the opportunity to review and ARC of this novel.
