"After her family suffers a tragedy, nine-year-old Alice Hart is forced to leave her idyllic seaside home. She is taken in by her grandmother, June, a flower farmer who raises Alice on the language of Australian native flowers, a way to say the things that are too hard to speak. Under the Watchful eye of June and the women who run the farm, Alice settles, but grows up increasingly frustrated by how little she know of her family's story. In her early twenties, Alice's life is thrown into upheaval again, forcing her to flee to the dramatically beautiful central Australian desert. In the otherworldly landscape Alice thinks she has found solace, until she meets a charismatic and ultimately dangerous man." --
