I love this book. It is enchanting. Quite literally enchanting. I read it almost holding my breath as an ordinary, grubby railway station and neighbouring park in a big city seemed to shimmer with light and meaning.

Persimmon is a florist, working in the station, and she’s advised in a letter from her deceased great-aunt that she has a Quest: she must go out to find a love of her own. Epiphany is a mouse who lives on Platform One, the busiest one, but dreams about The Place of Flowers. The moment they meet is life-changing for them both.

A story for imaginative readers 11 plus – a love story really – that beguiles its readers into seeing the world differently.
