A Goodreads Choice Awards Nominee
Francine Thwaite has lived all her fifty-five years in her family’s ancestral home, a rambling Elizabethan manor in England’s Lake District. No other living soul resides there, but Francine isn’t alone. There are ghosts in Thwaite Manor, harmless and familiar. Most beloved is Bree, the mischievous ghost girl who has been Francine’s companion since childhood.
When Francine’s estranged sister, Madeleine, returns to the manor after years away, she brings with her a story that threatens everything Francine has always believed. It is a tale of cruelty and desperation, of terror and unbearable heartache. And as Francine learns more about the darkness in her family’s past—and the role she may have played in it—she realizes that confronting the truth may mean losing what she holds most dear.
As moving and poignant as it is chilling, Her Little Flowers is a story of grief and enduring love—and of the haunting regrets only forgiveness can dispel.
Customer Reviews
Yesss! Loved this book! 4.5/5 stars!
Yesss!! I loved this book! I had forgotten how much I used to love to read ghost/horror/suspense/mysteries stories. When I was growing up, I was a huge fan of RL Stein’s Fear Street books. And it was almost as if this book brought me right back to that time period in my life, where I was completely absorbed in my own little world.
I was able to guess one of the mysteries surround the book by about page 150 or so, and had another hunch about where George had gone off towards fifty years prior, but the way that it ended up being presented still came with it’s own unknown shocks. While I wasn’t ever truly scared, I’d say it would be considered “mild horror”? More so a ghost story? Regardless, I loved it! It was a fairly quick read for me, too. If you’re a fan of authors like Riley Sager, or if you used to grow up reading fear street books, then I think you’d love this one! I can’t wait to read more by this author.
I give the book between 4.5-5 stars!
