Honeysuckle - Bar Fridman-Tell

A lush, dreamlike, and unsettling novel about Rory, a lonely boy whose sister creates him a magical companion, Daye, woven from flowers and words. Rory is blissfully happy until he learns that Daye cannot survive on her own—at the end of each season, she must be remade or she will fall apart. When his sister fails to return home one autumn, Rory is forced to watch Daye slowly decay, pushing him to leave home and learn how to save her himself.

As he grows older, Rory becomes consumed by increasingly dark research and experiments to break the cycle of bloom and decay. Inspired by the Welsh myth of Blodeuwedd, Honeysuckle is an inventive, feminist, horror-tinged fairytale—both enchanting and disturbing, with rot at its core.
