Some quite beautiful words on the fragility of self knowledge and the monumental effort needed to truly be enough on one's own. Plus some top-notch horticultural knowhow. Somehow it all fits seamlessly together and makes for a rather excellent quarantine read. To the garden!
I want to thank author Rebecca Winn and Grand Central Publishing for this free copy of One Hundred Daffodils.
This book honestly felt a little difficult for me to finish. I ended up having to mix it in with other books that I wanted to get read before the end of the year. The book focused on the author finding hope and promise in the future after her world, as she knows it, crashes down around her.
It's fine, I suppose, for an uplifting tale. It is very floral and nature focused, which I get can bring some people peace, particularly those who tune into nature more as a default. But it also kind of felt... superficial to me. We hear about the Bad Men in her life and how they mistreated her. Left her. Cheated on her. But those moments failed to resonate with me.
The writing, over all, flowed well enough. It was easy to read. But I found when I set the book down, I was never in a hurry to pick it back up. I'm glad Ms. Winn found the peace she needed. I'm glad she found the growth that she needed in order to better handle more trying times. But I struggled to connect with her on any level that made me want to know how she connected with the next challenge in her life.
