The Book of Thorns
The Book of Thorns is a vivid, layered and fascinating story about two sisters who find themselves on either side of the Napoleonic Wars, but are tied together by their magical connections through the language of flowers.
I found my heart bleeding for both sisters as they endured so much cruelty at the hands of men, but through their resilience they both were still able to find a way to take control of their destinies.
I also enjoyed how the infusion of magical realism added an enchanting touch to the darker narrative, as the sisters work to uncover their family’s mystery amidst so much turmoil and hardships.
