The Ladies of Ivy Cottage

By: Julie Klassen

Narrated by: Elizabeth Jasicki

Return to Ivy Hill in The Ladies of Ivy Cottage as friendships deepen, romances blossom, and mysteries unfold.

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?

Delightful

Such a delightful book. Perfect for this season in my life when I was looking for something to take my mind off of heavy things. Great story lines. Switched back and forth between characters beautifully.

loved it!

I loved the narrator and if u enjoyed downtown Abby then this is a must read for you. I was sad when it was over...u really get attached to the characters

Relaxing listen and story

I turn to regency novels when I need interesting writing and storylines that don’t stress me out. This one didn’t disappoint.

A lovely story

A lovely, endearing story of ladies & their families living in a small village. A great listen. I highly recommend this book.

SLOW reader. Fun story w twists and turns

Listened at 1.5 speed the reader is super slow. Enjoyed the story line. Took surprise story development that I enjoyed. Clean book.

Starting to get preachy

These are good characters. Strong women when women weren’t allowed to control their own lives. But half way through this book got preachy. Reading the Bible attributing everything good to god.

lovely!

such a great listen! love Julie and love this narrator! can't wait to listen to the next book!

Wonderful

Honestly loved all the main characters and the entire story. I did not want it to end. Excellent narration.Looking forward to the next book in this series. Disappointed when I found that it was not to be found on Audible.

Enjoyable!

This is the second installment of the series about Ivy Cottage and, while not quite as good as the first in my opinion, still enjoyable enough to keep me interested in going on to the third and final book. Lots of intrigue and romance with relationships that deepen along the way.

Well written. Alternatively fun, funny, and heartbreaking.

I don’t normally seek out books under “Christian Fiction”, but apparently this series falls into that category. I must say, if this is an example of Christian Fiction, I would very much be interested in seeking out more from this category. There is something SO refreshing in a book filled with good old fashioned morality without being the least bit preachy about it. Just pure and simple. I like it!!! ☺️

wonderful read

I loved this story. the characters were do real and the story line delightful. so enjoy reading story's set in other time periods
