Su único familiar es la abuela paterna, June, que dirige una plantación de flores en la que acoge a mujeres que atraviesan circunstancias complicadas. After meeting Sally again, she will also learn the truth about the fire: it wasn’t her who killed her parents; it was Agnes, her mother, to kill her father Clem while he was choking her. We also discover that Agnes saw a friend in Sally, and she was sharing with her a plan to leave Clem with Alice and find refuge at June’s farm, through the books they kept borrowing. Stunning cover and an unbeatable opening sentence, which has been widely quoted (but that won’t stop me from sharing it again. Grandmother June shares no information with Alice but remembers (for us) her own mother and grandmother and the men who were a problem.

The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart By Holly Ringland | New

When tragedy changes Alice's life irrevocably, she is sent to Thornfield, a native flower farm run by the grandmother she has never known. In this otherworldly landscape Alice thinks she has found solace, until she meets a charismatic and ultimately dangerous man. There were many spots in the novel where the setting and the related sharpness of the prose impressed me immensely. The author understands the situation very well and has said it comes from her own abusive background. She is taken in by her grandmother, June, a flower farmer who raises Alice on the language of Australian native flowers, a way to say the things that are too hard to speak.It's a beautifully crafted book, with not only a gorgeous cover but also each chapter has the drawing of an Australian native flower and a bit of information about it.
