An unforgettable story about the mysteries of fate and chance, the delicate balance of relationships, and the resilient human spirit. Written in a series of pivotal moments, Bellflower invites readers to choose their own reading path."e;I was intrigued by the overlapping stories of Bellflower, and yet found I was compelled to read them in order; that is, I read all the Hanley chapters first, then Moore, then Hallowicz. In this book, with this method, I was given the option to stay with the characters and so I did. All the scenes in Bellflower are vivid and well-wrought; I will think about these characters for a long time."e; ~ Jessica Francis Kane, author of Rules for Visiting
