Thank you to NetGalley and RB Media/recorded books for the audiobook of, The Flower Sisters
Narrated by a cast of readers: Jim Frangione, Andrea Gallo, L.J. Ganser, Laura Knight Keating, Christina Moore, Graham Winton
A compelling debut of a coming-of-age/historical fiction read; told in twin storylines fifty years apart.
The cover of this book is so beautifully done and that is what caught my eye for this book. Also, when I read it is a Fannie Flagg of the Ozarks. I absolutely loved listening to this coming-of-age/historical fiction story. Rose, the grandmother is hysterically funny at times and there are laugh out loud moments in the story. You’ll find yourself rooting for Daisy, who is a fifteen-year-old inquisitive and endearing young lady. This has a well rounded cast of characters that you will enjoy. I’m excited to see what this author does next. Kudos to, Michelle Collin’s Anderson, on her debut novel that brings this story to life with her descriptive writing. A great book for book clubs.
To me this novel is in the same vein as Fannie Flagg’s books, as well as, Jan Karon’s, The Mitford Series.
Touching on, family, forgiveness, secrets, lies, sadness and grief, love, and friendship.
