Description
The Flower Boy is a deeply moving and enchanting novel - a story of love, town secrets and family divisions. Lizzie Buckwater is born on a stormy night into a household nestled in Glencairn, on the lush tea estates of 1930s Ceylon. As Chandi, a little servant boy, plays in the mud outside on this fourth birthday, he promises himself that the English baby will become his best friend. He christens her Rose Lizzie after the flowers he loves, and the bright, perceptive boy soon forges the most important friendship of his life. As Chandi and Rose Lizzie's closeness grows, so their two families - English and Ceylonese, master and servant - become entwined. And with the approach of Ceylonese independence the whole idyll faces destruction.
