The language of flowers av Vanessa Diffenbaugh

 

The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh is a moving story of hope and forgiveness, and an international bestseller.

The Victorians used flowers to express emotions: honeysuckle for devotion, azaleas for passion, and red roses for love. For Victoria Jones, flowers and their meanings are her only connection to the world – although for her, they are most useful in expressing feelings such as grief, mistrust and solitude.

After a childhood in the foster care system, Victoria – now eighteen – has nowhere to go, and sleeps in a public park, where she plants a small garden of her own. When her talent is discovered by a local florist, she discovers her gift for helping others through the flowers she chooses for them. But it takes a meeting with a mysterious vendor at the flower market for her to realize what's been missing in her own life. As she starts to fall for him, though, she must confront a painful secret from her past – and decide whether it's worth risking everything for a second chance at happiness.

Bokomslag och beskrivning av bokens handling hämtad från Adlibris.

En bok jag inte hade hört talas om sen tidigare, men sen fick jag den som en adventspresent av Evelina i 2021, sen ville hon att jag skulle läsa den nu i sommar, så det gjorde jag ju så klart.

Sen var det en fin och gripande bok, om hur en ung kvinna finner kärleken hos en hel familj hu rhon lär si gälska em och läker efter en jobbig uppväxt. Och den hade även blomsterspråket som en karaktär hela boken igenom och jag gillade att läsa hu rdet hängde ihop med vad som hände.
