The Language of Flowers

Product Information

This story was almost wrapped up too neatly, but it fit so well. I hope some of you read it, it almost smells so good! Simply put, a book that i would recommend to anyone in need of a dose of some gentle and sweet story to boost their day!. Beatrice is a little bee gifted to the flowers of the meadow. They keep her safe and warm and in return she learns their language and delivers their messages. She does such a good job that the flowers of the meadow flourish and she needs some help. So begins her harrowing journey to find more bees. I had difficulty with "the willing suspension of disbelief" required by this novel. I was able to accept Victoria's behavior only because I felt she was in need of serious psychiatric counseling. However, the behavior of everyone else was completely unbelievable (possible exception was the social worker). What potential do Elizabeth, Renata, and Grant see in Victoria that she has a hard time seeing in herself?

Three stars means that the story had a good plot as well as good characters. Usually that's enough for me to like a bookThe story is told to readers in a sort of a letter, starting with Dear Reader, giving it an oral, story telling feel that invites readers into its cozy cocoon. It’s a story that just begs for you to get really comfortable, grab a blanket and cuddle up. Alternatively, to take the story out on a picnic in a meadow teaming with flowers for an immersive storytelling experience. I also have this can of tinned pineapple (I'm sure it counts) which means "You are perfect"... if you could just give that to Grant for me? Thanks. Forgotten the title or the author of a book?

However, planning the story around this theme was an unusual and perhaps ambitious undertaking which informed and entertained. Victoria's struggle to make it through a hostile world was very realistic and captivating. The author managed to mix fantasy and reality in equal measures without losing the plot or the intent. The latter being to capture the life and soul of a little girl lost in in a grown-up world where everybody else decided her destiny until she could finally make that decision herself. She rooted and blossomed. She learnt the language of love in all its different manifestations. However, for her rebirth she had to go through the pain of being born again.

The elegantly worded The Language of Flowers made me invest quite a lot during the first chapters, but gambled all my affection away later on. I will try to explain how this unceremonious drop around the middle of the story came to pass after introducing Victoria to you. This was special, and did really suit me in the form of short intense chapters, alternating between the past and present. Tethering me somewhere between constantly feeling bereft yet hopeful, but precariously edgy. I did not put this book down on many occasions.
