When I picked up this novel I was delighted to see that it was about flowers and their meanings. It seems that there are a number of meanings for each flower, depending upon the source. Yes, this tale is about flowers but it's also about the abandoned who have no families but move from one setting to another until they finally grow up. The author created a story about one such young woman which emphasizes how emotionally damaging this shuttling is to individuals. This is very well done and I loved it. Take time to read it. It's is enlightening to those of us who have never encountered such experiences.
