Description
When three sisters, Ginny, Sally and Molly are brought together at their father’s hospital bed, they are forced to confront not only the prospect of a future without him but also the secrets of the past that have kept them apart.
Their father, Eddie Matthews, drugged up on morphine, seems to be rambling but could he in fact be reliving previous lives as a Tudor monk and as a soldier on the Front in WW1? Struggling to speak he reveals that he has a secret and urges his daughters to ‘Find Rose’. Can the sisters put aside their differences to fulfil his last wish?

Thank you NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the eARC.
An immensely good read, FINDING ROSE takes place in three timelines: the 1500's, early 1900 during WWI and now. In the present, three sisters attend their father on his deathbed and his last words are: 'find Rose'. They embark on research trying to solve this puzzle, with remarkable results.
Was their father a monk in Tudor's England, as well as a soldier during WWI? And who is or was Rose?
I loved this book, it's a grown-up fairytale that took me out of myself. The characters are likeable and I thoroughly empathized with all of them. Highly recommended!

This novel takes 3 different stories and interconnects them to make an interesting read. There is something for every reader - love, tragedy and loss. I love sister novels that lead complicated lives but who are ultimately sisters. A good read

This book was so good read, I love a story where you have different timelines. this book takes place in three timelines: the 1500's, the early 1900 during WWI and the present world. You have three sisters who attend their father death and his final words are: 'find Rose. So with that the sisters start a journey solve their dads request.
The plot and story line were amazing. I think this world building was wonderfully done. It is very easy to follow and the writing was very well written. I highly recommend this read.

A very touching emotional book of secrets within a family and of the ramblings of a man on high doses of morphine.5*

Three sister, Ginny, Molly and Sally are there for their dad as he is dying. They have not always been there for each other but this is the time they need to put aside their problems and help dad. He keeps asking them to find Rose and they do not have a clue who that could be so decide he is just not himself. The story takes us into the problems each of the girls have and what broke up their close life growing up. Can they solve the mystery? Can they repair the close relationship they once had?
