The Bungalow (Plume)
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 than she ever was by her predictable fiancé, she is drawn to a mysterious soldier named Westry. Under the thatched roof of an abandoned beach bungalow, the two share a private world until the idyll vanishes into the winds of war. A sweeping saga of thwarted love, murder, a long-lost painting and a woman’s determination to discover the truth about the twin losses—of life, of love—that have haunted her for seventy years. Sarah Jio is the health and fitness blogger for Glamour.com and has contributed to major magazines, including Real Simple, Redbook, O: The Oprah Magazine, and Cooking Light, and she has also appeared as a commentator on NPR's Morning Edition. Her first novel, The Violets of March, was chosen as a Best Book of 2011 by Library Journal.
