Fantastic look into the societal view of women as ornamentation. Beautifully written, with a lovingly crafted heroine.  I rated it a little lower just because the

the ending was so sad. It makes sense - she was a flower plucked from her garden - but the lack of hope in the ending had me rating it lower.
