Flora’s Wish Book Review

Flora’s Wish is a book of questions, secrets, deception and curiosity. Flora lives in an affluent world where her Grandmother is the ultimate southern lady. Flora is desperate to marry in order to fulfill the family need and requirement of producing an heir. However, she can’t find a groom – they just keep dying. She engineers a contract with a prime candidate only to find that he is under suspicion from the Pinkertons. What follows is a sometimes humorous account of love, desperation, and unlucky events.

Flora’s Wish

When life is personally full of chaotic juggling, it’s sometimes hard to appreciate a good book. I am putting this on my summer shelf to reread when school is not in session and I have a little more downtime to really enjoy the twists of a fiancee under suspicion, a charming Pinkerton agent and the social obligations Flora is facing.
