Jocelyn Minton is a woman torn between two worlds. Her mother grew up attending private schools and afternoon teas, but she married the local handyman. After her mother died when Joce was only five years old, her father remarried into his own class, and Joce became an outsider - until she met Edilean Harcourt. Although she was sixty years Joce's senior, Miss Edi was a kindred soul who understood her like no one else ever had.

When Miss Edi passes away, she leaves Joce all her worldly possessions, including an eighteenth-century house and a letter with clues to a mystery that began in 1941. In the letter, Miss Edi also mentions that she has found the perfect man for Joce -- a handsome young lawyer. Joce is shocked to learn that the mystery, the house, and the future love of her life are all in Edilean, a small town in Virginia that Miss Edi never told her about. Hurt that the woman who meant so much to her kept so many secrets, Jocelyn moves to this tight-knit village in an attempt to understand the legacy that has been left to her. As she begins to dig into Miss Edi's mystery, she soon discovers some shocking surprises about her family's history and her own future - and she meets a man with his own mysterious past.

These books were out of order and unfortunately have different narrator's. The narrator to this book has the same voice for all the characters, I had to back up a lot because I didn't know who was talking. The narrator can't hold a candle to Davina Porter. To bad she didn't read this one. I hope book 3 has some of the same characters, but from the description it doesn't. It has another narrator change, hope she is better. The best part was the ending, a real tear jerker.

should have been book #2.

What made the experience of listening to Lavender Morning the most enjoyable?

The wittiness of the characters was the most enjoyable.

If you’ve listened to books by Jude Deveraux before, how does this one compare?

Slightly boring in comparison. The romance was implied yet non-existent. It was also sometimes difficult distinguishing the change of characters, because they all sounded alike.

What does Barbara McCulloh bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

the quick wit and personalities of the characters.

Any additional comments?

Although Ms Deveraux is one of my favorite authors, this series is not one I would follow. I'd rather the Taggert/Montgomery series.

sweet, innocent, and perfectly suitable for teens

I laughed, cried and fell in love with David and Ettie and their granddaughter and Luke!

I loved it so much, I had to force myself to put it down. Of course I cried, especially toward the end. About to buy the next one in the series, but can't imagine it topping this one.

Just Wonderful

An incredibly well put together love story and mystery. The whole thing is taken apart and put back together over and over AND THEN It comes together with a bang!! A WONDERFUL story!

WONDERFUL!!

Interesting read with several twists and turns.
Crossing generations and misconceptions.

Kept interest and a comfortable listen.

Foreshadowing hook

When the same narrator plays all the parts, it got confusing to know if a man or woman was speaking. I loved the story but the ending was abrupt.

Narration ruined it for me

Great story. Love the series. Narrator is terrible. She does not change inflection, accent, or tone for individual characters making it impossible to differentiate characters from one another. Would love this to be re-recorded with a better narrator

Narration leaves a lot to be desired
