Publisher's Summary:
It's the roaring twenties in San Francisco, a decade famous for hot jazz and bath tub gin. Violet (The Guyer Girls) has grown into a beautiful woman with children of her own. She has left her small hometown in the Pacific Northwest to pursue a successful basketball career and with her earnings, she has bought a bar and grill. She is a 'flapper' in every sense of the word; working all day and playing all night. While her teenage daughter raises her seven-year-old son, Violet is out on the town with her latest man de' jour.
Dressed in her signature red dress, she is the toast of the town and owner of a speakeasy where she hosts the cream of San Francisco's society, city politicians, Arch Bishops, and Hollywood celebrities. But there is an underbelly of corruption, grifters, the mob, excess, and neglect in Violet's life. Her two children are an afterthought and she chooses her men over their well-being time and time again.
Their childhood needs are always trumped by her self-indulgent desires. The two children are possessions that she can put down or pick up again on a whim. To show off to her current beau or friends and then forgotten. And when they get in her way, she gets rid of them.
Members Reviews:
Highly Recommend Wild Violets!!
I got sucked in immediately! It had a 'Little Women' feel at the homestead in Washington State.. Loved the differences in the sisters, loved Grace, the matriarch.. And loved the heart of Violet. Set in the 1920's from Washington State to prohibition-era San Francisco, Violet is a strong-willed, smart, beautiful woman, flawed and down to earth.. This was so entertaining !!
Wild Violets
I found Wild Violets thought provoking and amusing. Violet with her love/hate personality keeps things rolling.
The Guyers and their children were typical for their time except for one wild one.
Her story will keep you reading to the end.
Hard times made Violet even stronger. Being beautiful made it easier for her to
manipulate any man she thought she needed. There were many.
She had a family of her own. Two kids, Doris and Jack were a joy. Both loving and full of fun. They will bring tears and smiles as you get to know them. How they were mistreated will stun you.
T wanted to know more of this story and what might have happened now that Violet was expecting again.
Loved it
Ijust read Wild Violets and I was so caught up in the characters , It took me a day and a half to finish it. I couldn't put it down. The ending left me wanting to know more...This is the second book I have read by Trisha and she always leaving me wanting more...the characters seem like family...More..
