Book Club Meetup: Finding Flora by Elinor Florence
Bar Café Milano, Amalienstraße 44, München, DEStart the new year with an empowering, full-hearted historical novel set on the wild 1905 Alberta prairie. Finding Flora follows Scottish newcomer Flora Craigie, who leaps from a moving train to escape her abusive husband and boldly claims a homestead of her own. Surrounded by an unexpected community of women—each with their own fierce resilience—Flora discovers friendship, danger, and the courage required to build a new life on unforgiving land.
As rivalries, land disputes, and a violent past close in, these women must “fire the heather”—raise a ruckus—and fight for their homes, their safety, and their futures. Perfect for fans of Outlawed or The Giver of Stars, this novel will spark a lively discussion.
