Product Information

Stunning cover and an unbeatable opening sentence, which has been widely quoted (but that won’t stop me from sharing it again. It’s terrific, especially for a debut novel. We begin with eponymous nine-year-old Alice (Alyla Browne) dreaming of setting her father, Clem, on fire and freeing her family. Her mother, Agnes, is pregnant for a second time and running away has become an even fainter hope than before. When Alice accidentally starts a fire in Clem’s woodshed, it spreads to the house and kills both her parents. Local librarian Sally (Asher Keddie), who had been the first to alert authorities to the possibility that the child and her mother were being abused, wants to take her in. But Alice, mute with trauma, is put into the care of her formidable grandmother, June, played by Sigourney Weaver in a rare sighting outside the Avatar franchise, and who is on quietly blazing form. Demoledora y profundamente emotiva, Las flores perdidasde Alice Hart es una historia sobre las historias: las que heredamos, las que escogemos para definirnos y las que decidimos ocultar. Twig (stern and resolute ): ‘If anything, she(Alice), deserves more. From You. From us. From this place. She’s your family’. In episode 5 of "The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart," Alice confesses that she started the fire that killed her parents and unborn sibling.
