The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart is the internationally bestselling novel by Holly Ringland, perfect for fans of Where the Crawdads Sing and Kate Morton. After Alice overhears a conversation, she discovers she hasn’t been told the entire truth, she feels betrayed and leaves. Alice has no idea where she’s going to go and she ends up in the desert of the Northern Territory and where the sturt's desert peas flower nine months of the year. After weeks in the desert, there was something about feeling small, unfamiliar and out of place that Alice enjoyed. It was as if she could, at any moment, recreate herself entirely, and no one would notice. She could be whomever she chose.” Weirdly enough, the parts of this book that really shone were the descriptions of abusive relationships, which came across as visceral, authentic and real. I became a bit more tolerant of Alice's weird "oh my glob so hot' reaction towards Dylan when I realised that she was doomed to repeat the same mistakes of her mother, and misunderstood abusive behaviour as passion.

Benim için kitap 3 bölümden oluşmuştu. İlk 200 sayfayı, ağlamaklı bir halde, merakla okudum. Alice’in yaşadıkları, öyle ince bir çizgide, öyle güzel bir anlatımla yazılmıştı ki etkilenmemek mümkün değildi. Yaşananlarda ağır dram havası yoktu ama yoğun bir hüzün vardı. Sürekli kalbime minik minik iğneler batıyor, gözledim dolu dolu oluyordu. Roots, Kimberly (5 June 2023).

The book implies that the characters are expressing what they can’t say in words through flowers but it’s a pretty limited language, they are really not saying much. After her family suffers a tragedy, nine-year-old Alice Hart is forced to leave her idyllic seaside home. She is taken in by her grandmother, June, a flower farmer who raises Alice on the language of Australian native flowers, a way to say the things that are too hard to speak. I guess my problem lies in the fact that I just didn’t feel anything for any of the characters. Their personal situations relating to their past traumas and their ongoing individual emotional battles were meant to elicit an emotional response from the reader, but that was not the case for me. Bunica a transformat această fermă într-un fel de adăpost pentru femeile care nu au unde locui, femei ce poartă cu ele tot felul de povești, care de care mai impresionantă.

The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart is Holly Ringland's debut novel. It's been marketed quite heavily in Australia, there was a lot of excitement about it, so I had to read it to see if the hype was deserved. Cand Alice a acceptat violenta lui Dylan, (chiar si pentru putin timp) imi venea sa o iau la bataie. Cred ca asta a fost o lecție a autoarei pentru noi cititorii. Aslında hiç sıkılmadan, merak ederek okudum ama kitap için akıcıydı diyemeyeceğim. Bunun en önemli nedeni ilk bölümün farklı kişilerin açılarından anlatılması ve konunun dağınık işlenmesiydi. Ama ben, farklı hikayeler ve bakış açıları içeren anlatımı sevdim, beni rahatsız etmedi. HOLLY RINGLAND grew up in her mother's tropical garden on the east coast of Australia. When she was nine years old, her love of landscapes, cultures and stories was deepened by a two-year journey her family took in North America, living in a camper van and travelling from one national park to another.Pati Alisos istorija nebuvo iš lengvųjų, nors ir skaudi istorija, tačiau knyga verta kiekvieno perskaityto puslapio. Tarp šios knygos puslapių autorė suguldė tiek daug.. Draugystės, išdavystės, smurto bei paslapčių temas. Daugiau nesinori Jums atskleisti bei sugadinti visą skaitymo malonumą. Alice is raised on an Australian wildflower farm, and her grandmother June teaches her the family tradition of speaking through flowers, something I found both beautiful and terrible all at once. Beautiful, because how lovely to be able to communicate a gesture or heartfelt moment with the right flower. Sometimes it’s hard to know what to say, we just feel too much. But on the other hand, this family had communicated every important thing through flowers for so long that they no longer knew how to simply talk about the tough stuff, leading to terrible consequences and heartache for Alice. June hid her words behind flowers and let her own selfish desires determine her actions. It affected her son, Clem, and then reached into the next generation with Alice, who had difficulty as well with communicating when she really needed to. I liked how Alice overcame this at the end and made the language of flowers bend to her own will, using them to tell her story rather than using them to avoid confronting it.
