Here are a couple of friendly reviews from fellow Goodreads Authors:

The final installment in the Violet trilogy, “Imagine Violet Blooming” continues Mary Hughes’ historical reimagining of her grandmother’s life, inspired by notes left in her Bible. The story began with Violet as a teenager studying violin, before detailing her relationship with her husband Frank and their journey to Canada in the second volume. In “Imagine Violet Blooming,” Violet is in her thirties, her husband is working as the conductor of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and their family continues to grow. The narrative is expressed through letters to loved ones, and while the audience for intensely researched historical fiction might be small, the level of craft here is admirable. There are moments, especially at the end, where the author could’ve been forgiven for breaking the rules she established for Violet’s story, but I’ll give her credit for staying true to her vision for the series.

This is the third, and final, book in the Imagine Violet series and equally as enjoyable as the previous two.

Violet and Frank’s lives continue with Frank growing and expanding the orchestra in Toronto under the guidance of Mr Cox. As the conductor of the orchestra and an “in demand” music tutor, he is always busy and rarely at home. Violet also continues in her traditional role as the mother of five lively children and the wife of a well-known conductor. The family have their annual holiday in Muskoka and their cottage on the island is improved with a boat house and a new boat. The descriptions of the encroachment of civilization on this rural and peaceful place are interesting and quite poignant.

Violet grows as a person and experiences the death of her father. Dealing with grief is difficult and she must also keep her mother and sister’s spirits buoyed up, which she does quite successfully. Learning to manage her household staff continues to be a challenge for Violet, but she becomes better and identifying what she needs and a domestic helper who will suit her family as the series progresses. The family moves into a lovely new home which is big enough for their growing family and the older boys, particularly Teddy, excel at school and are great helpers at home.

The series has an unexpected ending, but it is appropriate and well handled; a good finish to a relaxed and peaceful read. These books make me think of taking a boat ride on a calm lake on a warm summer’s day. Each book is a slow-moving and pleasant meander through the life of Violet and each book leads on successfully from the previous one. 

I am rather sad that the series is finished with this book.
