I liked the story concept and it sucked me in fairly quickly. I thought some of the flashbacks were introduced rather clumsily and I found the ending forced.
Was okay. The historical fiction could use some work-didn't read like 1933-but the story was compelling. LOTS of coincidences and things that "just happen to work out". Totally annoying, but I did want to know what happened to Daniel. I agree with some of the lower rated reviews-- flat character dev...
Omg! I loved The Violets of March but I think I love this book even more! Sarah Jio does it again! Drawing the reader in with a tale of mystery and heartache, you want these two women to succeed. It may seem hard at first to get use to the style if switching back and forth between tel stories but Ji...
Well, I'm off to a good start for 2013 by starting with an adult book (since, one of my bookish resolutions was to read more "big kid" books).

In 2011, Sarah Jio was a name frequently bandied about as an author that deserves watching as she quickly garnered rave reviews with her first two novels. With Blackberry Winter her third novel, she shows that hers is not a flash-in-the-pan notoriety but rather a well-deserved beginning to what one...
I’ll start with a PSA – you’ll want a box of tissues within reach when you read Blackberry Winter. Because yes, you will cry.It is the story of two women who have suffered through loss so heart-wrenching you can’t help but feel for them. Two women whose lives are one day connected by fate, and famil...
