Meanwhile, her friend Jane Bell is facing a difficult decision of her own. Should she accept Gabriel Locke even if it means giving up her inn and destining another man to a childless marriage?
When a secretive new dressmaker arrives in the village, Mercy, Jane, and the other ladies of Ivy Hill attempt to befriend her, but they soon suspect she isn't who she claims to be.
Together, the women of Ivy Hill look forward to one wedding, but surprises lie in store and dearly held dreams may yet come true.
This is the third and final book in the "Tales From Ivy Hill," series. I read the first book in the series which I reviewed here, but did not read the second one. It would have been better to have read the second one; but this book works as a standalone book as well. I will say it took me a few chapters to get immersed into the book, but once I did, I enjoyed the book.
It's one of those books that doesn't tax the brain, it's full of tales around a charming English village and the descriptions of the village and people take you back to a quieter, more gentle time in England. That's not to say there are no twists and turns to go through when reading this book; it's just not a very "deep" book to my mind.
The way this book left off was quite good though, as it leaves things open for more books down the road. It will be interesting to see if the author will bring all these characters back to life again at some point?
Stars out of 5 : 4 After a slow start I got quite caught up in the story. I would advise though reading the whole series in order. A great series for some quiet afternoon's reading.
