A tender¸ brutal love story about mothers and daughters and what we become in their absence in this gorgeous¸ hand-painted original graphic novel. On a quiet street in 1930s New Orleans¸ a florist agrees to work through the night to construct a floral arrangement for a funeral the coming morning for a peculiar customer—a precocious 11-year-old girl named Adeil who pays the florist in stories. For every new flower the florist adds to the bouquet¸ Adeil offers another dissonant detail in her story: a chance meeting with a disillusioned jazz singer¸ a dilapidated family home¸ an idyllic life on the fringes of an imperfect world. As dawn approaches and the arrangement takes shape¸ the florist is left to piece together the final details of Adeil’s mysterious life and ponder…where exactly does she fit into this story? From Eisner Award-winning writer DARCY VAN POELGEEST (Little Bird) and superstar watercolor artist ERIN CONNALLY comes THE CUTTING GARDEN¸ a gorgeously rendered meditation on finding beauty in the darkest corners of our own humanity.
