THE LOST FLOWERS OF ALICE HART – Episodes 1 through 3 – (limited spoilers)
In each of these episodes we get the origin story of a main character, and each of them sounds like a smokescreen designed to hide the truth. The first is the story of how Alice (Alyla Browne) was born. “Cyclone Alice had hit the coast,” Alice is told by her mother Agnes (Tilda Cobham-Hervey). “There was no way to get to the hospital. So I got out of the truck, and I squatted down, and I gave birth to you in the laneway, and Daddy wrapped you up in his shirt. But then he realised that I wasn’t breathing, and he was trying to force the air into my lungs. Then suddenly you began to cry, wailing into the night. You brought me back to life.”
