Our Sweet Violet - by Rosie Goodwin (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Hull, 1905.
As the much-loved daughter of the local doctor, Violet Stroud enjoyed a comfortable and happy childhood--despite the emotional distance of her cold-hearted mother. But when her father dies unexpectedly, Violet's world is turned upside down.

As family secrets come to light, Violet finds herself without a home and with no one to turn to except Edie, the family's kind and loyal housekeeper. Together, Violet and Edie open a small café by the docks, and for a while, life settles into a quiet rhythm filled with purpose and the promise of love.

But when Violet's brother, Oliver, returns, turmoil follows. And one fateful night, tragedy strikes again, threatening everything she's built. With her peace and happiness hanging in the balance, Violet must summon all her strength to rebuild her life and find the love and security she's always longed for.
