Il giardino dei fiori segreti

the long version

London, Chelsea Flower Show, the biggest flower show in the world. Under the arches laden with roses, Iris Donati is happy: among the plants she feels at home. A real home, the one she never had, because since she was a child she lived around the world alone with her father. While bending down to better observe a composition, Iris remains paralyzed. She faces two eyes equal to her. The same brown hair. The same face. The girl in front of her is identical to her. Viola is her name. She also loves flowers and her bouquets are among the most sought after in London. All the certainties of Iris collapse in an instant. That girl is her twin sister. They have been divided by very small, and for twenty years neither has ever known of the existence of the other. Now that they are reunited again, Iris and Viola have to find out. The secret is hidden in Italy, in Volterra, where they were born. Between cypress avenues and green slopes, stands an ancient dwelling surrounded by a boundless garden. This is where the Donati live for generations. And it is here that Giulia Donati, their grandmother, awaits them. Only she can really explain why they have been separated and help them find the right path to fulfill their destiny.--Publisher's description.
