Flowers of Flanders by Ros Rendle



Flowers of Flanders

has been AWARDED

a

Chill with a Book READERS’ Award


Readers who are entranced by sweeping historical sagas will devour Flowers of Flanders, Ros Rendle’s drama is set before and during the First World War. 
Rose rivals her beautiful, mercurial sister for Michael’s love but calculated lies and misunderstandings alter the young peoples’ course. War breaks and Michael is as eager as the others to go. 

Maybe Rose will settle for second best with Thom even though she cannot get Michael out of her soul.

Does a man need the grace of serenity to rediscover his own or is it frivolity and seduction he craves when he has been through the darkest places of war? Michael’s experiences in the trenches gradually alter his perceptions.

This is a story about deceit and loyalties, complex relationships and loves developing from youth to adulthood during a cataclysmic time in history.
