This summer, I found myself utterly enchanted by The Alchemy of Flowers, a debut that blooms with magic, mystery, and the quiet power of second chances.
📚 At a Glance: Eloise Bourne arrives at the secretive French gardens of Le Château du Paradis, where strict rules guard hidden wonders. No gossip. No dusk wanderings. And no children... until a mysterious girl appears among the vines. As Eloise unearths the estate’s secrets, she rediscovers her capacity for hope, healing, and fierce love.
✨ Why I Adored It:
Fairytale Realism: The prose glimmers like morning dew, each bloom feels alive under Lucy’s pen.
Garden as Character: From rose arbors to moonlit greenhouses, the setting pulses with secrets you can almost smell.
Heartfelt Growth: Eloise’s journey, letting go of past hurts and opening her heart, will stay with you long after the last page.
Perfect Pacing: Gentle suspense and lush description balance in a story that feels both timeless and wholly fresh.
