Author Emily Buchanan joins In My Good Books to talk about her debut novel Send Flowers, a powerful story that blends grief, climate activism, and magical realism. Emily shares how her background in activism shaped her writing, why humour can make heavy topics more human, and how community keeps hope alive.

We also discuss authenticity in fiction, the role of social media in activism, and what Emily’s working on next.

Send Flowers is a must-read for fans of literary fiction, climate novels, and emotionally resonant storytelling.
