A Memory of Violets – Hazel Gaynor

A forgotten notebook opens a window into the lives of London’s flower sellers, and a sister’s enduring love.

In Victorian London, sisters Florrie and Rosie survive by selling flowers on the streets until they are separated. Decades later, Tilly Harper arrives at a home for former flower sellers and discovers a notebook that draws her into their story.

Hazel Gaynor’s historical novel intertwines loss, hope and the search for belonging, bringing the overlooked lives of London’s flower girls into focus.

If you liked The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh or the evocative historical storytelling of The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton, you’ll enjoy this moving tale of sisterhood and remembrance.
