Author(s): Bronwyn Tate

Fiction

In the language of flowers, the iris signifies 'I have a message for you'. As a symbol, it was the "fleur-de-lys" of the royal family of France, known as the Flower of Chivalry, with a sword for its leaves and a lily for its heart. In this beautiful novel Bronwyn Tate weaves these images through the lives of ten very different people and their experiences of giving birth, of loss and rediscovery.
