The Flowers of Hiraeth House by Angelica Krystel

Eerie, poetic, and mysterious, The Flowers of Hiraeth House by Angelica Krystel is an enthralling work of visionary fiction that is as beautifully written as it is enigmatic. Rose, or so she likes to call herself, is traveling on a train with no place to go, and no destination in mind, when she accepts a stranger’s offer to move into his place in Devon, where she is led to confront the darkest elements of herself, as the house acts as a kind of guide through her memory. Exploring topics such as love, grief, trauma, and the freedom to be oneself, this endlessly intriguing novel oscillates between a pleasant dream and the darkest nightmare, which becomes as dreamlike for the reader as it does for the protagonist.
