What you need to know before your trail

Poppy Carmichael is one of those people. She’s only back in St Felix as she had inherited a small flowers shop and doesn’t want to be reminded of life there. There are too many memories here and  having a shop is a big responsibility for her. The shop is shabby chic and needs a lot of love and care, something Poppy is not sure she can give it. A flowers sop rather like the flowers which it tends to, needs nature and nuture but Poppy just feels like running away.

St Felix is not the quiet town she expects however and has more than a few surprises in store for her – a blossoming romance for one and the joy that a wide range of personalities can bring and that is both the people as well as the flowers!

Travel Guide

The Daisy Chain in St Felix – both sadly fictional – are two of the most joyous places you will ever find in fiction.

Imagine inheriting a flower shop however when you have the most ungreen  fingers you ever saw. Going back to the town where she grew up might sound nice but she is there for sad reasons and not sure this is where she belongs now.

She’s snappy and irritable but Jake, supplier of blooms to the Daisy chain might just be the rose to her thorn. The bunches of blooms have magical properties you see and if you didn’t speak the language of flowers beforehand, you will after reading this novel.

Oh and the people of St Felix – where Ant and Dec run the local bakery (well kind of…) and there  is a monkey called Miley owned Jake. You just know a man with a monkey as a pet is going to be good fun.

St Felix is  a character in its own right – a place of memories and nostalgia. Where did you go on holiday with your family? Which seaside towns do you know or remember? The holiday feeling that you associate with them return here to St Felix.

There is something magical yet mysterious to Daisy Chain and the unravelling of the mystery will bring Poppy and St Felix to a new understanding.

Pick Lilac for the first emotions of love, Snapdragons symbolize presumption, hazel for reconciliation and daffodils for a new beginning.

This novel offers these and more that by the end you’ll be pleased you have Freesias in your garden and have picked those chamomiles.

The language of flowers, their powers, properties and special personalities will be the language you speak by the end of your visit to The Little Flower Shop by the sea.

Booktrailer Review

Susan:

My review, in keeping with the novel and the language of flowers is  a mix between sweet pea, heliotrope and orchids. I am very Weeping willow now that I’ve finished the book and hope that I find some Lily of the Valley very soon. I have no marsh marigolds but am sadly left with daisies. I will Dianthus to read this book again.
