Violets in March – Sarah Jio (Ukrainian Hardcover)

Violets in March follows successful author Emily Wilson, who escapes a messy divorce and creative burnout in New York to spend time with her grandmother on Bainbridge Island. Hoping for peace and healing, she’s not prepared for the unease that greets her—quiet locals seem to be hiding something. Then Emily discovers a 1943 diary belonging to a mysterious Esther Johnson, whose entries unravel a decades-old island mystery.

This emotionally charged, tropical–tinged novel blends heartfelt romance, atmospheric suspense, and a touch of warm humor. Emily’s connection with a new friend, Jack, is shadowed by her grandmother’s disapproval, and the island itself holds dark secrets. As the past and present entwine, Emily must uncover truths that may reconnect her to herself and the place of her childhood. This Ukrainian edition, translated by Tetyana Skrypnyk, is published by Vivat in 2025, spans 352 pages in a 197 × 127 mm hardcover, weighing about 360–400 g.
