The Violet Hour

Cassandra Green has everything - beauty, wealth, a loving husband and a clever daughter. But is it enough?

Cassandra and her husband Abe are on the deck of their boat on a summer afternoon in the San Francisco Bay. There is a terrible row. Cassandra has been unfaithful. Again. In a fit of rage, Abe throws himself off the boat.

So begins The Violet Hour, an unsettling story of a marriage, of rich lives and the American dream, squandered. In this mesmerising novel, Katherine Hill reveals our darkest desires and how we can so easily tear the threads of the perfect life.
A rewarding family saga reminiscent of Anne Tyler's novels . . . Wonderfully witty
