Flowers of Spit is a corrosive narrative that surrounds the inflamed character of Flore Forget.

Written as a long soliloquy, this novel is a delirious howl, an expectoration in the face of the world, a dolorous dive into the depths of identity.

Is it possible to emancipate oneself from one's tragedies, from the the individuals that have touched our lives and have died?

Is it possible for flowers to bloom from cinders and spit?

Filled with a vitriolic rage that teeters between despair and redemption, this work propels us into the memories inherent to scorched flesh.

It is an implacable story, one propelled by a raw, breathless style that strikes us where it hurts the most.
