Book Review of The Violets of March

The Violets of March
The Violets of March
Author: Sarah Jio
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Hardcover


Enthralling, quick read that is not literary fiction but more than chick-lit. Sarah Jio does a great job of establishing a sense of place--I felt like I was on Bainbridge Island. The characters of Emily and Bee are likable. There is a long ago story that Emily stumbles upon and gets involved with. Stories about family secrets always interest me. There are some unbelievable parts, like the newly divorced Emily being asked out by two different men minutes after getting to the island. But overall this was a pleasant read that held my attention.
