À propos de cet audio

The author of the USA Today and New York Times bestselling novel The Girl Who Came Home has once again created an unforgettable historical novel. Step into the world of Victorian London, where the wealth and poverty exist side by side. This is the story of two long-lost sisters, whose lives take different paths, and the young woman who will be transformed by their experiences.

In 1912, twenty-year-old Tilly Harper leaves the peace and beauty of her native Lake District for London, to become assistant housemother at Mr. Shaw’s Home for Watercress and Flower Girls. For years, the home has cared for London’s flower girls—orphaned and crippled children living on the grimy streets and selling posies of violets and watercress to survive.

Soon after she arrives, Tilly discovers a diary written by an orphan named Florrie—a young Irish flower girl who died of a broken heart after she and her sister, Rosie, were separated. Moved by Florrie’s pain and all she endured in her brief life, Tilly sets out to discover what happened to Rosie. But the search will not be easy. Full of twists and surprises, it leads the caring and determined young woman into unexpected places, including the depths of her own heart.

Overall an enjoyable storyline, but found it lacked in subtlety. I tend to appreciate narratives a little more when there’s a presumed intelligence of the reader. I enjoyed the flower girl and the orphan home pieces, but having most of the main female characters named after flowers was over the top. The weather was often described in terms of flowers (I.e. the sky was a bright cornflower blue, the sunrise was lavender etc.) and everything was flower-scented, and as such I found it to be a little bit twee.

This is a beautiful novel! Hazel never disappoints. Heart warming and beautifully narrated. Based on the true lives of the flower girls and the man who came to their rescue makes the stories even more touching.
