I was interested in reading The Alchemy of Flowers by Laura Resau because of the mysterious magical realism elements in the description.
I really appreciated the diversity that was presented in this novel. The main character was brought to life with a back story that felt authentic and personal. The gardens were described vividly and the author made it easy to imagine being drawn into Paradise. There was an intriguing mystery that kept me hooked to the end.
I would have liked if the magical elements had been amplified.
Overall, I recommend this book to anyone who likes idyllic gardens and mythological based magical realism. I would add a trigger warning for fertility issues, as these are discussed in detail throughout the novel.
