English Ivy uplifts the heart and soul and is simply a good, old fashioned romance with almost a melodramatic quality. English Ivy is another lighthearted, romantic book written in an English romance style by one of my favorite authors and my friend, Catherine Palmer. This book had its beginnings in researching and discussing conservatories back in 1999, and it took root from there and was under contract far before the author thought of writing The Happy Room or any of her more serious efforts that were released before this. It was never meant to be "great literature" but simply a good story, well written.
