The Bungalow
The Bungalow: A Novel | Sarah Jio
6 posts | 17 read | 8 to read
A sweeping World War II saga of thwarted love, murder, and a long-lost painting. In the summer of 1942, twenty-one-year-old Anne Calloway, newly engaged, sets off to serve in the Army Nurse Corps on the Pacific island of Bora-Bora. More exhilarated by the adventure of a lifetime than she ever was by her predictable fiancé, she is drawn to a mysterious soldier named Westry, and their friendship soon blossoms into hues as deep as the hibiscus flowers native to the island. Under the thatched roof of an abandoned beach bungalow, the two share a private world-until they witness a gruesome crime, Westry is suddenly redeployed, and the idyll vanishes into the winds of war. A timeless story of enduring passion from the author of Blackberry Winter and The Violets of March, The Bungalow chronicles Anne's determination to discover the truth about the twin losses-of life, and of love-that have haunted her for seventy years.

Looking for your next great read? The Bungalow by Sarah Jio. It's romance, history, and a page-turning mystery. It's a mesmerizing South Sea dream, the setting is luscious as it is exotic. I loved this book!

This book was loaned to me by a client of mine. She said she thought I‘d enjoy it. And honestly I did. It is not at all what I would have picked up on my own, so I‘m glad she gave it to me. In love historical fiction and this was perfect. Just a slight romance and a little mystery. Very enjoyable and a very quick read.
