What is Violet Peaks : a novel about?

"Maybe Violet was going about this the wrong way. After all, you could never fully know another person, even one you had slept next to night after night. You knew only what they chose to tell you. Entire lives stripped down to a series of patchy anecdotes, and which ones did you select? Which ones could be sewn together to form a coherent, colorful story? No matter how skilled a tailor, the stitches would eventually unravel; there would always be awkward gaps and tears. People would stare at what you presented and think moths or cats had been at it. Maybe it was smarter to keep quiet, aloof, mysterious. Better to let others do the embroidery." Armed with a recent discovery of her husband's infidelity, 33-year-old Violet Peaks slips out of their third anniversary dinner and wanders into the summer night retracing the rocky trajectory of her life. Beginning with a bolt of lightning and ending with the glow of a firefly. Violet Peaks follows her journey from age 5 to age 33, revealing the pivotal moments, chance encounters and unexpected turns which come to shape one's life, and which may end up destroying her own.
