Izgubljeno cvijeće Alice Hart

Izgubljeno cvijeće Alice Hart

Holly Ringland

Nine-year-old Alice Hart grows up in a secluded home, between sugar cane fields and the sea, where her mother's magnificent flowers and their hidden messages protect her from her father's dark moods.

After a tragedy that will change her life forever, Alice goes to live with her grandmother, whom she didn't even know existed until then, on a farm of native Australian flowers. This farm shelters women who, like Alice, are lost and broken. According to the Victorian tradition, every flower has a meaning and as Alice slowly adjusts to her new life, she begins to use the language of flowers to express what is difficult to say in words. When Alice grows into a young woman, family secrets and betrayals lead her to realize that flowers can't tell some stories after all. If she wants the freedom she longs for, Alice will have to gather the courage to embrace that most powerful story - about herself.
