avoir mal des fleurs

The Tillman Institute for Young Women is world-renown for its educating and bringing up of girls of all ages... but among the youth of the suburban Rivan Bay, it's better known for its support group for those affected by avoir mal des fleurs -- also known as flower-sickness. The Blossom Society is a known secret of the school and of those who live around the bay, a club acknowledged but not spoken about, leading to plenty of curiosity about their daily activities -- and it's this curiosity that's drawn one Charlotte Barnsburry to the school, intent on joining the club and discovering more about this sickness and the girls affected by it despite not being infected herself.
