Publisher Description
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.
Customer Reviews
A true gem
I love how she writes because just when I think I can predict the next step, I’m so wrong. The secrets and how it all ties together, she’s truly a talented writer. I envisioned every second of this book as if it were a movie. I sobbed, but in a freeing way. I want to go to Bora Bora and find my own little bungalow.
A fun, easy read!
If you like historical fiction and are looking for a relaxing, feel good story get this book. It’s not intellectual, but it is enjoyable.
