The Lost Girls of Foxfield Hall by Jessica Thorne

 *I was given a free eARC of this book in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own.

Part ghost story, part WWII intrigue, part time travel, part Arthurian legend, part love story.

The Lost Girls of Foxfield Hall is a bit out of my typical reading habits, because time travel is too fraught for me.  I liked this book and think that anyone who like time travel or historical fiction would probably love this even more than I do.

Megan Taylor is having a rough time, because her brother is missing in action.  To distract herself from her own grief and her parents' inability to cope with the situation, she takes a job renovating and design the old garden at the manor-house-turned-hotel that her best friend manages.

There, Megan meets a pretty hotel trustee who leaves her tonge-tied, but because of Megan's grief over her brother's situation, she thinks she's not in the right mental space find a new girlfriend.  While Megan is out for a night run, she sees green lights in the garden that lead her to the heart of a maze . . . and 1939.

Megan encounters Eleanor Foxfield, the daughter of the previous owner of Foxfield Hall.  Local history shows that Eleanor went missing just a few nights later than the night in 1939 that Megan first visits.  Eleanor gives Megan a corn dollie  as proof to them both that neither was a dream.

Megan makes a second visit to 1939 and warns Eleanor about her limited future, and Eleanor, in turn, gives Megan a book to help her figure out the green lights, the local myth or ghost story of the Green Lady, and, possibly, the nature of Eleanor's disappearance.

All of this is set against Michaelmas and the Harvest Festival in the English countryside.

Any more details, and we're into spoiler territory, but I will say I loved the characters, their interactions, and the story resolution.  

If you like a little magic with your history or a little romance in your WWII intrigue, I think this is a great a book for you!
