Pink For All Seasons: Flower Symbolism in The Seduction of the Crimson Rose by Lauren Willig

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Pink For All Seasons: Flower Symbolism in The Seduction of the Crimson Rose by Lauren Willig

Many of you die hard ‘Pink Carnation‘ fans will undoubtedly notice that flowers play a huge role in the books and are meant to convey some symbolism and foreshadowing in the series and books.

Each character embodies the title flower in some way or another. For me, one of my favorite Pink heroines was Mary Alsworthy from The Seduction of the Crimson Rose.

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Special Feature: Why You Should Indulge in Romantic Literature

For any true lover of literature, you know the effect that a good novel has on the reader.

A quality literary masterpiece will challenge the way you think and leaves an impression that will last well after the final chapter is read.

While romance is generally overlooked in most literary crowds, it’s just as significant as any other written word and can often be beneficial to the person or couple that reads these pieces.

It can add passion and heat to an otherwise mundane sex life.

For those who are single, erotica can provide some of the intimacy that comes with a relationship as well as the sexual stimulation that may be missing in your life.
