The Bride of Ivy
Green is the third book in Julie
Klassen's Tales from Ivy Hill
series. The small village of Ivy Hill is filled with characters that
will become dear to your heart. Most are selfless and each has their
own very distinct skill set and interests, and even the most
cantankerous ones have their lovable side. While having multiple
story lines, this book focuses on Mercy Grove, a schoolteacher who
has lost her school. Thirty-one-year-old Mercy had almost given up
hope of marrying for love, but would she settle for a marriage of
convenience? After so many years without a suitor, how would she now
manage two? These questions will keep the reader turning pages along
with the many questions about Ivy Hill's newest resident, Madame
Victorine, the new dress-maker. She doesn't appear to be at all what
she presents herself to be.
Julie
Klassen places her readers right into the 1820s, feeling the jolting
rides across the fields and the wet walks through the village. She
helps them feel like they are a member of the Ladies Tea and Knitting
Society, and causes them to root for love to win in many different
circumstances. I highly recommend The Bride of Ivy Green.
I
thank NetGalley and Bethany House Publishers for providing me with a
copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no
obligation to provide a positive review, and received no monetary
compensation.
