“The House of Stone and Ivy” by Anita Stansfield

I really liked this book! The story was interesting and fun to read and the characters were likeable. I especially loved Hennie and Lottie’s friendship through out the entire book. Although they both had a terrible upbringings and past; they didn’t let that define them or ruin their future. They continued to be kind, trustworthy, and hard workers which served them well later in life.

The story had some romance and drama but overall; it was just a good, clean, historical fiction book. Very well written-would recommend!

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

About the Book
Orphaned as children, Hennie and Lottie share an unbreakable friendship. Together, they suffered the horrors of orphanages and the workhouse, and now grown, they continue to rely on each another. When Lottie approaches Hennie about a possible position at a manor house, Hennie is eager to work alongside her dear friend. However, to secure the positions as stable hands, they will have to undergo a bold act of deception: the women must disguise themselves as men.

Upon arriving at the manor, Hennie is stunned. Her new position is at Ivy Manor—the beautiful estate where her mother was employed long ago and where Hennie was raised until her mother’s death. Hennie has wonderful memories of her friendship with the son of the house, Jack, and is shocked and dismayed to learn he has vanished. Living in disguise at the manor allows her to gradually uncover the truth of Jack’s disappearance and eventually find him. Both Hennie and Jack are thrilled to be reunited, and their friendship is renewed. Soon, their relationship blossoms . . . and threatens their determination to remain concealed. With so much at stake, will they be prepared to risk everything for love?
