When Violet’s daughter Aster reaches the age of twenty-one, she receives a letter that turns her world upside down.

And as Aster unearths the lies and secrets of her childhood, a future of love and hope may be closer than she realizes . . .
REVIEWS
"The story is sad and haunting and reflects the true horror of war and the effect that it had on everyday people and yet it is also an inspiring, uplifting story of hope. If Michael Morpurgo had written Tess of the d'Urbervilles, the result would have been something similar to The Flower Book. I loved the way that this story was written, especially the idea of the flower book, which has inspired me to fetch my old flower press down from the loft and start a flower book of my own. This unique and enjoyable tale is a fitting tribute to all those affected by war and has been written with sensitivity and empathy. I always feel that the hallmark of a good story is that it moves the reader emotionally. This book made me cry."
