Women buying flowers

Addictive, fun, romantic, honest, Women Who Buy Flowers is an exciting novel about friendship, an everyday adventure in search of female independence, an epic journey to the heart of the dreams of contemporary women.

In a small, central neighborhood of the city there are five women who buy flowers. At first none of them do it for themselves: one buys them for her secret love, another for her office, the third to paint them, another for her clients, the last... for a dead person. The last one is me and this is my story.

After losing her partner, Marina realizes she is completely lost: she had been in the co-pilot's seat for too long. Looking to start over, she accepts a temporary job at a curious flower shop called El Jardín del Ángel. There she will meet other very different women who, like her, are at a crossroads in life regarding their work, their lovers, their desires or their family. From the relationship between them and Olivia, the eccentric and wise owner of the shop, a close friendship will emerge, on which the new direction their lives will take will depend.

The women who buy flowers are:

Marina
She suffers from co-pilot syndrome: she has always depended on her partner to guide her life. Her flower is the violet, which symbolizes humility and shyness, but also the self-confidence she must earn.

Casandra
She suffers from superwoman syndrome: rather than depend on anyone, she would opt for active euthanasia. She prioritizes her professional success over her personal life, should she have one. Her flower is the blue orchid, a symbol of the relaxation she lacks.

Gala
She represents Galatea syndrome: she firmly believes that women today have all rights. All except the right to age. Her flower is the white lily, a symbol of coquetry that does not wither until death.

Aurora
She embodies the suffering beauty syndrome: she confuses love with obsession. That is, the more pain, the more in love she feels. Her flower is the calendula, the flower of sorrow. But it is also a symbol of the cruelty she does not dare to return, not even in small doses, to defend herself.

Victoria
One of those women who have decided they can do it all - the best mother, the best worker, the best daughter - or in other words, those who have omnipotent syndrome. Her flower is the quince blossom, the flower of temptation. The temptation to break with everything and free herself.
