 At first blush it sounds like something Dickens might have come up with, had Dickens been deeply interested in flower arranging.  In this absorbing and delicately wrought debut novel, Diffenbaugh heeds the creative-writing maxim: Write what you know. She has been a foster mother and has taught art and writing in low-income communities.This experience is discernible in The Language of Flowers. The idea that an angry young girl such as Victoria would actually be interested in flowers and their meanings seems implausible on one level, and yet Diffenbaugh uses to good effect the belief that evergreen hope lies nascent within most damaged kids. In the end, she offers a cautionary tale about what happens to kids who've grown without families, one that strives to be honest but still hopeful. Children like Victoria may be able to survive on their own, but in order to do better than that - to thrive - they need support. But it's never too late to learn how to love.
"A los dieciocho a©łos, tras una vida entrando y saliendo de numerosos hogares de acogida y pisos tutelados, Victoria Jones est©Ł obligada a emanciparse por ley. Se ha convertido en una joven introvertida y arisca, y s©đlo en su pasi©đn por las flores se vislumbra un camino de salvaci©đn.

El misterioso joven conoce un secreto que atormenta a Victoria, aunque s©đlo ella puede arreglar cuentas con el pasado.
