The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart by Holly Ringland

3.0

---

Have to say it was a bit "flowery" for me, uncomfortably sentimental at times. I got irritated by the constantly changing points of view, where even minor characters randomly inserted themselves into the narrative, for no apparent reason. It went on way too long. Listening to it as an audiobook it wasn't so obvious where the end would be and I got to a point where it felt like the end (or it should have been the end) only to find it rambled on for another few chapters, tying up loose ends. As well, the narrator of the audiobook had an irritating voice, frequently softening into whispers, supposedly to enhance the mood, but just making it hard to hear.
