Enola shows herself to be an intelligent, rational, resourceful, and brave protagonist. Readers will look forward to hearing this heroine's unique voice again. -- Publishers Weekly, starred review I initially read/listened to audiobook version of the Enola Holmes mysteries when my girls were very small. Now they are much older and enjoy listening to audiobooks, I thought it would be fun if we listened to the Enola Holmes stories this summer when we drive around on errands.

Enola mengunjungi Mrs. Watson dengan menyamar sebagai seorang pria menarik bernama Viola Everseau. Di rumah Watson, Enola melihat karangan bunga aneh yang mungkin dikirim oleh seorang pasien. Dia dan ibunya telah mempelajari bunga dan artinya, jadi dia tahu varietas khusus ini membawa simbolisme yang tidak menyenangkan. Dia menelusuri buket itu dengan kembali ke toko kostum. Pemiliknya, Pertelote, memiliki saudara perempuan yang gila dan cacat, Flora, yang terkadang menyamar sebagai pria dan menyebabkan masalah. she made a much more satisfactory man than a woman, and it was narrow-minded of Pertelote to think otherwise” ….wut? This is about a woman who has literally no face left, disguising herself as a man to take revenge on Dr. Watson…. And this is what we have to say about it? Okay then. Once again, an interesting adventure involving Enola. With these books, it's really "Keep it simple". So by that I mean that nothing was written here to stretch, but everything has to do with the case and the time around it. Ah, pero este... me lo he bebido en un par de días. La trama de la desaparición de Watson me ha gustado un montón. Todas las pesquisas que lleva a cabo Enola,me parece una prota muy interesante, y sus tejemanejes para que sus hermanos no la descubran... También me ha gustado cómo avanza mínimamente esta relación al final del libro. Aunque sea un pasito pequeño, es un pasito. Igual que el pasito que da Enola en su mentalidad con respecto a la desaparición de su madre, que aquí en los libros aún no se ha resuelto.Empowered, capable, and smart . . . [with] an impactful message that you can do anything if you set your mind to it." --Millie Bobby Brown, Stranger Things The above example is the only reason Enola ever gives for her not wanting to marry ever. That’s the only reason. Once again, if women are so cool, why is matrimony such a bad thing? Enola es un personaje entrañable que aquí va ganando más seguridad en sí misma y que debe decidir si vale la pena hacer peligrar su libertad para salvar a otra persona. Vemos cómo sigue queriendo aprender a ser totalmente independiente y cómo, al mismo tiempo, añora que se preocupen por ella, algo que no resulta molesto porque la humaniza y hace que sea un personaje creíble dadas sus circunstancias y su edad. A pesar de todo, la he notado más madura que en los libros anteriores.

Oh, and Enola tells a story of a women who was put away into an insane asylum because she sat down on the ground in her dress and her husband thought it was less embarrassing than divorce. Um….. okay. This author really wants to portray these times as just a living hell, doesn’t she? I enjoyed this audiobook and the narrator, Katherine Kellgren has been making this series very enjoyable for me. I libri di Nancy Springer sono sempre piacevoli da leggere, scorrevoli, trama intrigante, personaggi interessanti. Ottimo per trascorrere alcune ore in completo relax. Enola rents a room across from the shop so she can watch the women. She overhears that Flora was disfigured very young. When Pertelote failed to babysit her effectively, Flora’s face was eaten off by rats. Enola learns Dr. Watson signed off on Flora’s admission to the insane asylum. The sisters almost catch Enola spying on them. She flees and hurts herself in the process. Vor allem auch Enolas Wille, ihren Weg zu gehen, alles zu tun, um das durchzusetzen, was ihr wichtig ist und selbst wenn sie sich alleine fühlt, nach vorne zu schauen und nicht aufzugeben, rührt mich jedes Mal wieder sehr!Del primero me gustó sobre todo la primera mitad, la segunda fue muy diferente a lo que yo esperaba en base a la peli, y fue más infantil de lo que tenía en mente. Profil Nancy Springer – Penulis Novel Kisah Misteri Enola Holmes: Misteri Buket Bunga Kematian Sumber gambar: penguinrandomhouse.com Enola Holmes mengetahui bahwa bukan kebetulan jika namanya dieja terbalik, akan menjadi “Alone” yang berarti sendirian. Ibunya adalah seorang feminis berjiwa bebas yang menyukai kode dan sandi, tetapi tak pernah terlalu memperhatikan putrinya. Saat ibunya menghilang pada ulang tahun Enola yang ke-14 dalam The Case of the Missing Marquess, Enola tak terkejut saat menemukan ibunya meninggalkannya demi kehendak bebasnya sendiri.

If Enola is going to solve this case, she is going to employ some of her most clever disguises yet! After paying a visit to Mrs. Watson, Enola sees a very odd bouquet amongst the flowers sent by well-wishers. Enola is familiar with the language of flowers, and this paticular arrangement conveys a very negative message indeed. When she realizes that Dr. Watson might be in grave danger (pun intended), Enola springs into action. Afferrate la vostra lente d'ingrandimento e tuffatevi con me in questa nuova avventura ricca di pericoli e mistero, signori: stiamo per essere coinvolti ancora una volta nei guai della famiglia più in gamba e problematica d'Inghilterra: gli Holmes.

Una tercera parte que engancha y que deja con ganas de continuar con la saga. La lectura es amena en todo momento, así que entre eso y lo corto que es el libro (205 páginas), me lo acabé en un par de sentadas. This is a very clever mystery. Sometimes books in a series can become rather repetitive after awhile, but that is not the case here. Enola has new ideas and techniques to solve this mystery, which is more personal to her due to the disappearance of someone she respects. Con sus más y sus menos, esta novela se lee en un suspiro y se agradece que en ningún momento se infantilicen los comportamientos de los personajes. A esto hay que sumarle que la autora sabe introducir bien en la trama explicaciones sobre costumbres del siglo XIX en Inglaterra, y aprovecha para hacer una denuncia contra algunas injusticias. En esta ocasión, lo que más se toca es la facilidad para encerrar a alguien es una institución mental, especialmente a mujeres, solo por tener actitudes “reprochables” o poco decoro. No se ahonda en exceso en el asunto, pero se aprenden cosas. More like 3.5 STARS; though I did enjoy it, I think the stellar audiobook narration enhanced it and I might have been a bit bored at times were I simply reading this.) Sweet god, how I love these books! Sorry. That’s not something a professional reviewer should start off by saying is it? I should probably be coy about my opinions. I should couch my language with faint praise saying sniffy little things like, “It seems that Ms. Springer has truly found an oeuvre that will suit some out there”. My review would nod its head at her other books and series and then end with constructive criticism along the lines of, “Certainly children in search of mysteries will have no problems with Ms. Springer’s popular choices.” Well, forget it. I can’t be all detached and restrained when I’m talking about Enola Holmes. The fact of the matter is that I can’t get enough of her. From the minute I read her first story The Case of the Missing Marquess, I was hooked. Now we’re on Enola’s third caper, The Case of the Bizarre Bouquets, and things are heating up. Whether you’ve been reading these books faithfully from the start, or have just dropped into this series without seeing its predecessors, this is one Enola Holmes mystery that is bound to mystify, confound, and delight.
