Finding Flora (2025)
Elinor Florence
"Flora is a heroine to cheer for! She's brave, dogged, stubborn, joyful, a pioneer in a beautiful and punishing land. I can't remember when I've been more caught up in the fate of a character! And what's so splendid is that it is full of fascinating historical detail which never showed itself off, being so beautifully integrated into the story."
