Description
Violets by Alex Hyde In the closing days of World War Two, one Violet lies in a hospital bed, her pregnancy over and her body no longer able to conceive. As she navigates this new reality, she finds herself disconnected from those around her - her husband deployed, friends entangled in fleeting relationships. Meanwhile, another Violet is contemplating the fate shared with her unborn child, an overseas posting offering a temporary escape. She becomes immersed in the heat and disorder of Naples, drawn into the charismatic world of Maggie. As their lives begin to intertwine, a powerful story of women's courage emerges, infused with lyricism and beauty. This spellbinding tale explores the complexities of life, love, and identity, as two Violets forge a path forward, each carrying the weight of responsibility for the child they share.
