The Bone Flower by Charles Lambert
4.0
4.5 stars!
This is one of those books I probably never would’ve read if I wasn’t a book reviewer. So thank you to Gallic for sending this one my way!
Set in Victorian London, it tells the story of Edward, a man of means & stature who, after taking part in a seance, falls under the spell of Settie. However, Settie being a Romani girl, their pairing is not accepted in society & Edward faces being cut off by his family. He makes a decision he will live to regret.
Two years later, Edward is married & expecting the birth of his first child. But the wrongs of his past come back to haunt him.
The Bone Flower is a beautifully written book, with a supernatural tale of life after death. It’s creepiness (& a little gore in places!) is perfect for the darker nights now drawing in.
A highly recommended autumnal read!
