Author Holly Ringland spoke to a packed room at Barefoot Books last Thursday night about her acclaimed novel The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart.
In her debut novel, flowers are used as tools for communication after nine-year-old Alice Hart suffers a family tragedy.
The novel follows Alice over 20 years, from her childhood living on a cane field farm, then to her grandmother’s flower farm, after which she flees to the central Australian desert.
