![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Like most, if not all, people, I grew up being told fairy tales and imaginings by my parents and other older individuals in my life. There’s a beauty and simplicity to Chokshi’s writing that means the story just flows almost off the page while simultaneously painting each scene that plays out like a vibrant piece of art. I love pretty much anything gothic, eerie and unsettling – think Pan’s Labyrinth mixed with Crimson Peak – and this dark yet romantic tale, weaving love, lies, deception and secrets hit that sweet spot of mine dead centre. So, what did I like about it? First of all, the atmosphere it lures then settles the reader in. ![]() The author I’m referring to is Roshani Chokshi, and the book is titled The Last Tale of the Flower Bride. I love it when I discover an author I hadn’t heard of before, and love it even more so when the book of theirs I read is one I devour in two days. ![]()
