Summary

‘I was in awe reading this book, wonderfully written, fascinating history and brought with it the scent of all those flowers. A delight for my senses.’ Milly Johnson

The Lost Bookshop meets The Keeper of Stories in this utterly heart-warming story about friendship, hope and a mystery hidden in the language of flowers…

The smallest treasures can hold the biggest mysteries…

One year after her husband’s death Emma has become a wallflower, hiding among the brighter blooms in the florist where she works.

But when a colleague invites her to a talk on the Titanic, she begins a quest to uncover who arranged the flowers on board.

As Emma discovers the lost story of the girl and the great ship, she realises that flowers may unlock long buried secrets in her own life…

Will she be able to unlock the mystery of the Titanic and heal her heart too?

Loved this book. Brilliantly narrated. Took one star off for the story just for the ending. I won’t go into that and spoil it for new readers. I will probably listen to it again and will definitely read more from this author (my 2nd book - the first being The Keeper of Stories).

Captivating throughout!

What a great mix of personal story (and anguish) and fascinating historical fact. Obviously written with great love of the subject matter. A triumph.

Fabulous read

Loved this story, and was attracted to it by my love of flowers and the story of the Titanic. If neither of these topics are not a love of yours, you will still love this book like a hot cuppa, cosy slippers, and a warm blanket. Beautiful narration brought the characters to life. Thank you Sally and for the power of coincidence.
