Flowers

by Louise M. Hewett

Winter withdraws and spring blossoms in the Adelaide Hills. Just as the landscape puts on new robes, Róisín Clare and the community of Pictish Spirit move with the seasonal rhythms to find new forms with which to live and grow. The journey of her vocation as a mentor to her Braves continues for Róisín, bringing difficult matters of body and soul into focus, and honing her skill as a walker between worlds. Bonds of friendship and love deepen, and Adam and Ben prepare to make a public commitment to each other at the Spring Equinox. Oaths are exchanged to reflect the core ideals of partnership they espouse and to prepare for the seasonal crest of the annual round at the summer solstice, when personal love must expand to include all that is sovereign in themselves and in the earth.

Hewett's distinctive writing style is still gripping me after the third book. Once more I found myself learning and thinking a lot, and yet also enjoying the journey very much! Particularly liked the deepening stories of Ross and Helen in this book and hope to read more in the next!

Louise has considerable skill in writing characters that talk to you. Her characters become more human with each passing page. Characters that you wanted to strangle at first, change and grow, exploring all that is flawed and human. Suddenly you find yourself no longer irritated by them, but cheering them on, as they try to become the person they want to be. Flowers is about growing and blossoming and the characters that grace the pages are dedicated to that. It’s not always pretty, but it’s captivating to watch each unique person unfold. And each one offers insight into humanity, a gift to the reader, like a beautiful bloom. Truly a transformative read.
