About this listen

From the Irish Times bestselling author comes a historical novel about an orphaned Victorian flower seller, a lost sister and a hidden diary.

1876. Among the depravity of Covent Garden's flower markets, orphaned Irish sisters Flora and Rosie Flynn sell posies of violets and watercress to survive. When they become separated, their lives are set on very different paths…

1912. Twenty-one-year-old Tilly Harper leaves her native Lake District to work at one of London’s homes for orphaned and crippled flower girls. It’s a fresh start for her, a chance to leave her troubled past behind.

And there, hidden between the pages of a lost notebook, she finds a heartbreaking tale of loss and separation, of a woman desperate to find her long lost sister. And when she sets out to discover what happened, she is lead into unexpected places, including the depths of her own heart…
