The Alchemy of Flowers

Eloise, exhausted by her fruitless attempts to start a family, answers an intriguing job ad to tend to the flowers of the ancient Jardins du Paradis in the South of France. The promise of isolation and no children on the premises is too good to pass up. Within the high garden walls, Eloise begins to heal, forming new friendships and even finding a connection with the handyman, Raphael. The flowers whisper to her, enchanting and delighting her, but strange occurrences and forbidden rules make her question the reality of her sanctuary. As Eloise digs deeper into the mysteries of the garden, she uncovers a darkness that threatens her newfound happiness. The giggles and glimpses of a little girl haunt her, and she begins to suspect there's a child in danger. When Paradise becomes a deadly prison, Eloise must risk everything to protect her new family and claim her second chance at happiness. This enchanting, modern-day take on The Secret Garden is sprinkled with magic and perfect for fans of Sarah Addison Allen.
