The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh

4.0

I picked this up on the recommendation of a friend and was not disappointed. This is an excellent story with memorable characters and a heartbreaking "mystery" that helps propel the story in alternating chapters. Lovers of flowers and Victorian tradition will enjoy learning about the language of flowers. I grew up in San Francisco and I enjoyed the setting and the way it was evoked. Victoria (the main character) is at times tough to love, but you really do have empathy for her and ultimately understand her journey.
