From the New York Times bestselling author of Always and Blackberry Winter, a heartbroken woman stumbles upon a diary and steps into the life of its anonymous author. In her twenties, Emily Wilson was on top of the world: she had a bestselling novel, a husband plucked from the pages of GQ, and a one-way ticket to happily ever after. Ten years later, the tide has turned on Emily's good fortune. So when her great-aunt Bee invites her to spend the month of March on Bainbridge Island in Washington State, Emily accepts, longing to be healed by the sea. Researching her next book, Emily discovers a red velvet diary, dated 1943, whose contents reveal startling connections to her own life. A mesmerizing debut with an idyllic setting and intriguing dual story line, The Violets of March announces Sarah Jio as a writer to watch.
I read this book on behest of great reviews on Amazon.com, well its an instresting read, thrills you at places but wanes out quite soon.Once picked it will keep you engaged enough though some times the instances are cliched.
This book gives life a new meaning and so called life revolves around so many unsung circumstances upon which we struck and we get a whole new sharpness. Sarah Jio has very beautifully penned this book defining subtle relationships. Must read for those who love books with writing that reflect their personality. wonderful!
