Dette er en roman om Sigrid, som selger blomster og lever et rolig familieliv. Nå lurer hun på om det er kroppen hennes eller forholdet til mannen det er noe i veien med. For noe er galt. Og det hjelper ikke at moren ringer hele tiden. Det eneste som hjelper, er å ta drosje. Blomsterhandlersken er en samlivsroman som både er rar og gjenkjennelig.
