The Botanist's Daughter Paperback – April 18, 2019

I listened to the Audible first, then bought the book, so I could see some of the words I heard, but could only guess about, and have it to reference at my bookclub. Written in that style of “alternating between then and now timeframes”, I thought it very well done. The main characters’ lives unfolded at a pace that held my interest. You’ll know a bit about the world of botany by the time you finish this one.

Loved that this was very different in both subject matter and writing style. I get a bit bored with WWII novels now, and also whiney angst in more modern stories. This was a great read.

This book arrived in good condition, but shipping took a while and the book was more expensive than I like to pay for a paperback.

Patron requested book, arrived in perfect condition.

The Botanist's Daughter was quite a good read. Being set in Chile in the 1800's it gave a glimpse of life in South America at that time. I was also interested in the plants mentioned as I am a keen gardener and it was very interesting to knowthat many of our common garden plants have come from that part of the world.

This was my first outing with the author, Kayte Nunn and I was pleasantly surprised. I bought the book based on the fact the story involved plants. The story drifts between two continents and cultures (English and Spanish). I found the characters interesting and believable and the fast-paced narrative quickly engaged my interest and attention. I enjoyed this read because of the characters and story and the fast pace of the narrative. I didn't mind the style of the writing, although I would say it is more directed at the broad popular novel reader and not the more demanding reader who requires a more lyrical or complex writing style.

Enjoyable story that keeps you engrossed. I enjoyed the alternating yet very connected story that ties a family historic and present day together through a bit of a mystery.

I adore all things plant based, so this gripped me from the get go. I enjoyed the character development, the changing from modern day to 2 other centuries. It was gripping with the mystery, the history woven in and throughout the eras and places made it all the more entertaining. Bravo! I will read more from this author
