Flowers Libri GmbH Flowers in the Storm

Tom and Ben live on the margins of society, surrounded by drugs, loneliness and abuse. After a failed robbery attempt, they are arrested together and sentenced to five years in prison. Soon, in Wandsworth Prison, the two become victims of physical and sexual violence at the hands of both other inmates and corrupt guards. Their suffering seems endless, while everyone else appears indifferent to what is happening within those walls... or at least until the arrival of the new director, Ancoll, who takes on her role with the intention of protecting them and exposing the network of corruption behind the acts of violence, which seems to extend beyond the prison walls... Flowers in the Storm is a powerful, raw and true novel that shows how solidarity, humanity and love can become a lifeline and a source of hope even in the darkest moments of life. Miss S. Hidden's desire to find herself and give voice to her true nature drove her, as a teenager, to create intricate maps, labyrinths made up of dreams, thoughts and feelings. However, it was only when she joined the Italian State Police that she was able to understand the true meaning of the word "service." Her novel, Flowers in the Storm, is an opportunity not only to share her thoughts but also to open the gates of her labyrinths in the hope that her discoveries and experiences may help her readers on their own journey.
