Significance of Viola's Novels

Viola was a best-selling novelist. Each of her novels seemed to be about one area of her life that she explored emotionally through the writing of the novel. For example, her first novel was titled "Sparrows at Dawn" and was about a girl (Viola) being brought up by her single father (Teddy). Bertie indicated at one point that she knew Viola was writing about her life in her novels, but she did not seem to care. Viola took her writing career quite seriously and was proud of every one of her works.
