Summary

It seems a perfect backdrop for what Violet Hayes longs to experience: a little mystery, a little romance.

To be honest, it is more than a little mystery. She schemed her way to Chicago to discover the mother she barely remembered. As for romance—well, with the help of her grandmother and three great aunts, that is coming along nicely as well—perhaps too well. Each of her relatives—including her saintly grandmother—seems to have a separate agenda for her.

In the course of a summer, Violet's world will open wide before her eyes. But in the wake of discovery, she must find a way to determine which path—and which man—will ultimately be the right lifetime choice for her.

Great listen. Enjoyed the story very much but would have liked more about their romance at the end and other close relationships. I love listening to books narrated by Jennifer Ikeda, she is so good and really embodies the different characters. I search for my next reads based on what she has narrated.

Good story and interesting characters.

Constantly solving mysteries and looking deeper than surface beauty and money. Loved Aunt Birdie. We often look over our seniors with less than perfect minds.

I found myself giggling throughout the whole book. This book has become one of my favourites! Really great story that keep you reading until the end. I love the main character but I must say aunt Berdie won my heart. She doesn't say much throughout the book but she is the sweetest and so wise. Great narration throughout. i love the sense of mystery also throughout the book.

Has become a favourite!

Lynn Austin is my favourite author. This book was different from any other book of hers I’ve ever read or listened to. It was lighthearted and fun. I love how she draws you in and you get to know the characters so well. I highly recommend this book and excellent read.
