The Victorian language of flowers was used to convey romantic expressions: honeysuckle for devotion, asters for patience, and red roses for love. But for Victoria Jones, it’s been more useful in communicating mistrust and solitude. After a childhood spent in the foster-care system, she is unable to get close to anybody, and her only connection to the world is through flowers and their meanings. Now eighteen and emancipated from the system with nowhere to go, Victoria realizes she has a gift for helping others through the flo

The Language of Flowers: A Novel by Vanessa Diffenbaugh Book Review

Name: Hmm? That's Interesting
Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Title: Read Again. Quickly --- Don't Wait
Date: Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2020
Review: Only a day or two passed before I read “The Language of Flowers” a second time.

Thank goodness.

My memory, created during the first reading, holds story-holes. I created ugly potholes by not knowing which detail to understand, now or appreciate later --- during the first reading. And, holes need filling.

Every detail, each symbol, each sub-theme, page by page means more to me now, almost as if I were beginning to learn a new language. The second reading shows and validates details and sub-themes missed the first time. “It feels as if I’m reading a different book,” I say to myself. And I anticipate each additional reading will thicken understanding of what the story shares.

I love this story, as painful as it is at times..

During the first reading, I keep reading one more page, then one more chapter. Then I read another page, another chapter, on and on. To stop and wet my dry mouth and throat seems a time-waster. Each chapter introduces a surprise. Each chapter's last sentence keeps me anticipating the unexpected that Diffenbaugh will share next. While most of Victoria’s jaw-droppers displease me or make me feel uncomfortable, they keep fascinating and riveting my focus, as I read and turn page ... after page ... after page--- not able to stop.

Two questions birth themselves and stay with me, as I move through this tale:

• How real is this story? It feels like a dream, a bad one --- no, perhaps a nightmare, for all characters.
• Why is the book called “The Language of Flowers?” The title feels light-hearted, maybe literary, even botanical --- almost, even artificial. Yet, I know it’s not.

The second reading, I keep working to flesh-out a comfortable answer to the story’s purpose. Vanessa presents Victoria's story as a real-world experience --- yet it doesn’t feel believably so. Wounds and damages just don’t heal as quickly as the story's words and rhythms suggest, in real-life.

I ask: Might this story’s content be identified as a blend or a collage of an adult contemporary fairy tale, a fantasy, a story of secular-mysticism, a fictional memoir, a surrealistic metaphor, an unfinished psychological case-study draft?

Is it?

I wonder.

Perchance it’s imaginary.

I keep searching the story’s content. “Is it phantasmagoria-like?" I ask myself. "Does the text hide a less obvious more meaningful or realistic solution?"

Hmm?

Coincidently, I watched Offenbach’s fabulous opera “Les Contes de’ Hoffmann,” between my first and second readings. With tears in my eyes, I recognize that in the epilogue, sung by the muse (Kate Lindsey) and The Metropolitan Opera Chorus*, I hear Offenbach’s music, and the English subtitles answer the two questions which developed during my first read.

The opera’s ending words cause me to feel that Diffenbaugh’s muse might well have been like the one portrayed by Offenbach --- if not the same.

I share some words from Hoffman's opera for your consideration:

"Let the ashes of your heart rekindle your genius.
“Smile upon your sorrows with serenity.
“Your muse will comfort you.
“Your suffering will be blessed.
“One grows through love...and grows more through tears.
“Let the ashes of your heart...rekindle your genius.
“Smile upon your sorrows with serenity.
“Your muse will comfort you.
“Your suffering will be blessed.
“Love lends man greatness.
“Tears make him greater still. "

“The Language of Flowers” is about much, much more than simply Victoria's (Diffenbaugh's) flowers' symbolic and mystical meanings. May you grow from the pain and suffering you are likely to feel, about Victoria and memories of your life-experiences, while you read this remarkable book. What will your favored flowers communicate to you? What will you be trying to communicate with the someone to whom you send your selected flowers?

Victoria, Grant, and Elizabeth, and maybe you and me, grow and develop as we learn from life-experiences. And that we live individually and personally.

Let your muse speak insights to you.

As my reading-muse whispers insights from Diffenbaugh’s text, “The Language of Flowers” becomes increasingly valuable to me.

Some reviewers give 5-stars when a book introduces them to something that feels as if it's giving them an insight that may change their life. "The Language of Flowers" might be one that carries life-modifying and enriching insights. Insights revealed while reading a book that is shared surreptitiously, simultaneously, with another work that peels similar scales from our eyes, unexpectedly --- even when 180-years separate one text and the other. As they did in this review's example.

I gave the author’s book 4-stars when I finished the first read. After the second, I changed to 5-stars. Is there a rating higher than 5-stars, for me to use after I reread this wonderfully and beautifully written tale a third, fourth, and fifth time?

Yes, there is --- even though there is no place to validate higher rankings with a checkmark.

Instead, we may need to find a reading-muse to whisper Diffenbaugh’s secrets to us. And then be content with what we hear.

Title: Unique story of an unusual girl who finds love thru 2 other unique loners, told thru great writing skills
Date: Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2015
Review: This was an amazing book; probably the best I've read all year. At my book club, we unanimously loved it. While the definitions of the flowers was a nice addition, one could argue as to whether they fit well ("Peony" to me is not "anger"; but other definitions were better). It was more the story of a small group of unusual people who dont seem like they could ever find love, ...but DO find love. It centers around a girl who goes thru dozens of bad foster homes, and ends up on the street at 18 years old. Her only talent is understanding flowers...their meanings and how to grow and arrange them. Two people cross her path, and eventually love, patience, and flowers brings them happiness (not counting the flower store owner, who is a positive influence). Some of the situations we found shocking, but believeable. Also, the author kept us in suspense thru good writing techniques. it was almost impossible to predict what happened next. We also were satisfied with the ending. I also encourage people to read the back of the book. First, is the list of definitions (which both the author and the girl int he book developed thru multiple books on flowers). Second there are notes that explain why the author chose the subject that add a new dimension to the storyline.

Title: Read this. It will be one of your favorites!
Date: Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2017
Review: 5 Stars, really....5 Stars. It is a GREAT book. Finished it in two days (and I have three kids, a full time job and a BUSY life...so you know...not a lot of sleep!) The writer isn't overly intellectual in her writing, but the topic of using a Victorian-era "language" could get really intricate in description. I would guess that she wanted to add a lot of factual info from her research and then decided that, based on the age of the characters, adding in all of that would have made the story less believable...so, kudos to your restraint Ms. Diffenbaugh! I was looking for a read that wouldn't be too emotional. Something that would pull me in gently and move quickly. I have read too many books, recently that just go on about nothing and 10 pages in you feel like you haven't left the scene....or you're not far from where you were. (Okay, 10 pages is an exaggeration, but you know what I mean...fluff!) I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to enjoy a book after maybe spending too long in T.V.-land, or Rat-Racing through life. This is a nice little place of respite and enrichment.

Title: Lovely and beautifully written
Date: Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2019
Review: Victoria was given up at birth by her mother. She lived in various foster homes until she was placed with Elizabeth at the age of 9. They were a a good match, both flawed and misunderstood, and they loved each other. Elizabeth home schooled her and taught her the Language of Flowers which they both used to communicate in secret and magical ways. Family dynamics complicate their life in a bucolic vineyard and after a disastrous fire, Victoria spends the next 8 years in a group home. Once she ages out of there at 18, she finds her niche in a florist shop where she thrives but continues to struggle but gives hope to others. This is a beautifully written book I couldn’t put down.

Title: Fascinating story of trama , recovery, and the meaning of flowers
Date: Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2021
Review: This is not a botany book, but the story of Victoria, an abandoned and traumatized girl and her struggles to survive. Despite her tendency to reject and be fearful of love and tenderness, she was able to build connections to others through her love and knowledge of flowers. She made a flower dictionary with their names and meanings which became her bible when she worked in a flower shop. Her flower arrangements appeared to make a difference in people's emotional lives.
I was attracted to the book first, because of the flowers theme. I was not aware of the spiritual meaning for each flower and potentially their properties to heal or enhance our reality.
The themes of love, abandonment, fear, revenge, forgiveness and second chances make this book rich and filled with human struggles. Victoria's journey is heartwrenching with pain and joy. The flowers bring lightness and spiritual meaning to a simple bunch of flowers and a gesture of love.
