Pick The Violets of March to read

The Violets of March, by Sarah Jio

Psssst. I have a secret. When you hear those words, especially with a lowered voice, it gets your attention. This novel is all about family secrets. The story holds added fascination with most of its action set on beautiful Bainbridge Island. Vivid writing brings the Island to life, as if it’s another character in the novel. Sarah Jio lives in Seattle with her family, and enticingly writes about our area. You’ll enjoy her richly descriptive passages about Bainbridge, Seattle, and the surroundings.
The protagonist, Emily, is living in New York and has become weary of a personal life that is unraveling. She yearns for respite and thinks of carefree feelings about her childhood summer visits to a beloved aunt on Bainbridge Island. Despite years of distance, Emily contacts her aunt and then heads west.
Emily’s family is aging. Carrying a burdensome secret has taken its toll . . . . . .  Link to my recommendation
