Summary
Tessa Collins: Wildflower Daughter
Five Women. Five continents. One big family secret. The second novel in the Flower Daughters series A story that smells of field flowers, has the taste of the north and leaves a mark long after the last page. Solly has everything she dreamed of: fame, money, a handsome guy. But the feeling of loneliness follows her like a shadow - as if an invisible barrier has risen between her and the world, which she cannot overcome even with her music. When Rose, after the death of her beloved grandmother, finds an oil portrait of a woman who looks strikingly like her on the family estate, she is deeply disturbed and curious. Who is that woman? And why does no one want to talk about her, especially Sola's father, who is stubbornly silent about his Icelandic origins? Driven by a premonition she can't explain, Solly embarks on a journey to Iceland, the land of northern lights and harsh beauty. There she will meet her father's family, a young man whose reserve both confuses and attracts her, and traces of love from the war years - love so strong that it could change everything and so dangerous that it had to be hidden. Daughter of Wild Flowers is a touching and enchanting story about family heritage that shapes us, but also about the courage to start life over when everything falls apart.
