Good Condition – light cover wear and minor edge creasing.

In the English village of Ivy Hill, the coaching inn known as The Bell is central to community life. When the innkeeper dies unexpectedly, his genteel widow, Jane Bell, becomes its reluctant owner despite knowing little about running a business. With a substantial loan due and the future of the inn at risk, Jane must find the confidence to act, even as tension with her formidable mother-in-law, Thora, complicates every decision. Friends, neighbours and old relationships gather around The Bell, bringing their own hopes, disappointments and secrets into Jane’s changing world. Set in 1820, Julie Klassen’s warm historical novel blends village life, friendship, gentle romance and personal renewal. The first Tales from Ivy Hill novel introduces an engaging community where survival depends on courage, cooperation and the willingness to imagine a different future.
