I want to give a little back history from my perspective on Sarah Jio's books since they are all written with the past and present interwined into the story. The Violets of March was very good. Blackberry Winter was in my opinion good. The Bungalow fantastic! Then came The Last Camellia and I thought...hmmmmm......maybe this past and present thing is gettin' old...time for something new, then out jumps Morning Glory and the magic is back for me.
I loved Morning Glory. I will say some will find it somewhat predictable and typical of Ms. Jio's previous books but I found the descriptions of Boat Street in the 1950's and the socialization back then fascinating. The story is of love and loss with a little mystery thrown in. I loved the ending, maybe a bit unbelieveable but as I have said many times before "It's fiction, it's why we read!" I will continue to read Sarah Jio.
