"How well do you really know the person you married? That's the question at the heart of Roshani Chokshi's unsettlingly gorgeous adult fantasy. In the book, a man is forced to face uncomfortable truths about his mysterious wife, Indigo, on a trip to her childhood home. . . . This book is for anyone who loves dark fairy tales and is obsessed with the monstrous nature of teenage girlhood." - Kalyani Saxena, NPR, "Best Books of the Year"
"A delightfully meta fairy tale . . . The Last Tale of the Flower Bride is a fine addition to the shelf of novels about ordinary people being seduced by wealth and glamour - but its real strength is the way magic emanates from every exquisitely crafted sentence. . . . It feels like the best conjuring trick ever." - Charlie Jane Anders, Washington Post
"Chokshi's tale is as sweet as a piece of fairy fruit, and just as wicked. Every bite is velvet, every swallow is gold, and the taste lingers like a fever dream." - V. E. Schwab, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
"A dazzling fairy tale for adults. . . . Take a fairy tale, infuse it with a gothic flair, drizzle in some dark romance, and you get The Last Tale of the Flower Bride." - Time, Best Books of February 2023
"Chokshi's writing is vivid and lovely." - Entertainment Weekly

"Like the best Gothic novels, The Last Tale of the Flower Bride lures you in, cups you in a dreamlike trance, and-most impressively-makes the whole trick look effortless. A story of obsessive bonds and the lies we eagerly devour to be loved, it is at once exquisitely intense and profoundly sad. Reader, I was at its mercy. " - Isabel Cañas, bestselling author of The Hacienda
"Roshani Chokshi's transfixing first novel for adults is a fairytale-infused story about marriage and the secrets couples keep from each other. That, and an enchanted house off the coast of Washington and hotel fortune." - Today.com

It will shock, disarm, and delight you, with surprise reverberating all the way to its very last lines." - Sanjena Sathian, author of Gold Diggers
"I'm not sure I can capture how much this book moved, gripped, devoured me. Chokshi draws stars from the darkness.

A beautifully conjured tale." - Claire Heywood, author of Daughters of Sparta
