Hot House Flower and the 9 Plants of Desire by Margot Berwin

This is absolutely one of the best books I've read (listened to, actually). Jaw-dropping descriptions, strange situations, and I never knew what was going to happen next. WOW.

The book's a mix of mysticism, sensuality, and botany. It's fiction - really the story of a newly divorced woman trying to find herself - but much, much different than other books with that starting point. It's not a sex book (oh, Juan Carlo! You must take me now!) but it is truly one of the most sensual, sexual books I've read in recent history ... I never knew plants could be so sexy (especially the exquisitely sexually frustrated and tortured Sensimilla! Yikes!).
