A review by nicolaspratt
Hothouse Flower and the Nine Plants of Desire by Margot Berwin

4.0

A surprisingly interesting and educational book, Berwin does a good job of mixing magical realism with steamy romance (mainly steamy because tropical plants like moist environments). The style of Gabriel García Márquez is brought to light in the Yucatan when the magical plants are searched for and found. Well worth the read for anyone who loves plants, or is interested in a different perspective on the Yucatan peninsula.
