Regency Romance. Mystery. Jane Austin. If any of these interest you, reader, then you will be delighted to read "The Ladies of Ivy Cottage" by Julie Klassen. In this second book of the series, Rachel Ashford has gone from living the life of a gentlewoman to one of having to earn a living. Her father left her his entire collection of books so the women of the community, known as the Ladies Tea and Knitting Society, encourage her to start a "subscription library." Support in the community comes in many ways, particularly with anonymous donations that hold clues to why James Drake came to Ivy Hill. Her friend, Mercy, is caught up in her own problems: becoming the guardian of one of her students and a possible suitor.
The book started out slow but I think that is because I had not read the first book. I soon was caught up in the story and the characters and could not put the book down.
I received this book from Bethany House Publishers and was under no obligation to post a review.
