My husband is a huge titanic fan which has made me want to read all the historical fiction around the event. I had a hard time with this one. I loved the idea looking for the florist it’s so different.
Still struggling a year after her husband’s death, Emma has retreated to the fringes of life. That changes when she begins researching the Titanic, and the story of the young woman who arranged flowers aboard the doomed ocean liner. Flowers, it seems, may have the power to help Emma heal from her own tragedy
I was pretty darn bored throughout this book. This was definitely not my style of book. I was reading, but nothing was happening.
Absolutely loved this! Such a great book and anything titanic is a great topic to read about. The author really outdid herself on this.
The Secret of Flowers by S. Page, published by Harper Collins is a wonderful story. Heartwarming, hearwrenchingly beautiful tells the story of loss, grief, second chances. The story of Emma, Les, Betty and Tamas, a slow burn, complex and literally unputdownable.
Reading the book was like coming home, snuggling up on the couch under a cozy blanket with a mug of cocoa.
Blurb: One year on from the death of her husband, Emma feels no closer to moving forward with her life. Seeking distraction, she quits her job and begins working at the local garden center.
Here, Emma begins to open up and finds herself attending boss Les’ talk on the Titanic. Intrigued, Emma sets out to research who would have arranged the flowers on-board.
Alongside her story unfolds the tale of a stewardess on the Titanic, who Emma can’t help but feel connected to..
