The sequel to "Ecstasia," written in Block's customary style, resembling the work of the late, great Angela Carter in the second half. Primavera is a girl on the brink of womanhood who can make flowers grow when she sings. She feels torn by an excess of love from her mother, a lack of understanding from her father, and the impossibility of winning the man she desires. She sets out on a journey to Elysia, the cruel, magical city of her parents' youth, but her path does not end there, leading through some unexpectedly dark and exhilirating places. A book not afraid to see the beauty in the grotesque.
