However, one night Rose makes a choice which sees the White Bear snatched away and taken unwillingly to a land east of the sun and west of the moon. Almost a year passes and during this time they become companions, developing a quiet understanding and an affection for each other. Here Rose is to remain, living alongside the White Bear. Rose travels miles on the White Bear’s back until they reach a castle in the mountainside. This is the beginning of Rose’s epic adventure. It is little surprise then that when the White Bear visits the family and asks Rose to leave with him that she accepts. Her mother rallies against Rose’s birth direction, desperately trying to keep her close, but Rose is adventurous and inquisitive from an early age. Rose is a north child (determined by the direction her mother was facing when she gave birth) and according to superstition this means that she is destined to explore, and to travel far from home on a dangerous journey. The book is based on the Norwegian folk tale East of the Sun, West of the Moon. Edith Pattou has adapted the story, fleshing it out with additional characters and detail. I completely loved this book! I was drawn to it because of the cover – a determined young woman, a dramatic landscape, the mysterious white bear – and it didn’t disappoint.

Soon a local florist discovers her talents, and Victoria realizes she has a gift for helping others through the flowers she chooses for them. Now eighteen and emancipated from the system, Victoria has nowhere to go and sleeps in a public park, where she plants a small garden of her own. After a childhood spent in the foster-care system, she is unable to get close to anybody, and her only connection to the world is through flowers and their meanings. But for Victoria Jones, it’s been more useful in communicating grief, mistrust, and solitude. The Victorian language of flowers was used to convey romantic expressions: honeysuckle for devotion, asters for patience, and red roses for love. A mesmerizing, moving, and elegantly written debut novel, The Language of Flowers beautifully weaves past and present, creating a vivid portrait of an unforgettable woman whose gift for flowers helps her change the lives of others even as she struggles to overcome her own troubled past.
