The Ladies of Ivy Cottage

Tales from Ivy Hill, Book 2

By: Julie Klassen

Narrated by: Elizabeth Jasicki

Living with the two Miss Groves in Ivy Cottage, impoverished gentlewoman Rachel Ashford is determined to earn her own livelihood - somehow.

When the village women encourage her to open a subscription library with the many books she has inherited or acquired through donations, Rachel discovers two mysteries hidden among them. A man who once broke her heart helps her search for clues, but will both find more than they bargained for?

Rachel's friend and hostess, Mercy Grove, has given up thoughts of suitors and fills her days managing her girls' school. So when several men take an interest in Ivy Cottage, she assumes pretty Miss Ashford is the cause. Exactly what, or who, has captured each man's attention? The truth may surprise them all.

Meanwhile, life has improved at the coaching inn, and Jane Bell is ready to put grief behind her. Now if only the man she misses would return - but where is he? As the women of Ivy Hill search for answers about the past and hope for the future, might they find love along the way?

Amazing!

I very much enjoyed this novel as much as the first in the series. can't wait for the third!

Such a disappointment

This title was such a disappointment, extremely SLOW storyline , incredibly BORING, hard to stay with it til the end and then a flat & short conclusion . I want to read the third book but......Why, now I'm dreading it.
