Aliceβs world as she knew it completely changed when she was 9 years old. Following a family tragedy, she was forced to leave her childhood home by the sea, to live with her estranged grandmother, June, on a flower farm in the middle of nowhere.
While learning the language of the beautiful Australian native flora, and under the watchful eye of June and βthe flowers,β Alice grows up and finds herself. She then discovers a betrayal and she escapes to the Great Australian Dessert for solace.
Itβs there that Alice truly finds herself butΒ it seems that history has an uncanny way of repeating itself.
I really enjoyed reading this book. While some of the plot points were predictable, this beautifully written story sucks the reader in and keeps them engaged the whole way through.
DV is a common theme throughout the book so make sure youβre in a good headspace before reading.
Iβm really looking forward to watching the Amazon series to compare it to the book.
