Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Jude Deveraux’s Lavender Morning is now available from Encore.
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. When Miss Edi passes away, she leaves Jocelyn all her worldly possessions, and clues to a mystery that began in 1941, set in a small town in Virginia—a town that Miss Edi had never mentioned. But the townspeople know who Joce is, and they’ve plotted out her entire future, including who she is meant to marry. But Jocelyn has her own ideas about men and secrets that no one wants revealed…

"An excellent read. I was crying at the end. I also had some laughs about Bertrand, and his lazy stories XD "

Lavender Morning Listener Reviews

" This book so far is really good and reminds me of a Cinderella-esque novel, which I love! Romance, mystery, and more! "
— Kelsey, 5/10/2011 -
" The best part of this book was the story of Edilean. The rest felt contrived, and the characters were inconsistent and stereotyped. There was also something about the writing that didn't flow for me as it usually does. "
— Shannon, 5/5/2011 -
" This was an okay book- it got better the more I got into it. It wasn't very creative and I get the feeling the author cranks out books to a certain, predictable formula. "
— Flora, 4/9/2011 -
" This was a light, predictable story you don't have to think much about. If you are looking for that, you will not be disappointed. "
— Delores, 4/6/2011 -
" Pretty good....but I figured out the plot "twist" way before the ending. "
— Denise, 3/25/2011 -
" Very cute and very fun to read. I felt like I was reading a Lifetime movie. I enjoy these books for some "no thought", just fun, books. "
— Nicole, 3/16/2011 -
" This is my first Deveraux book, and I enjoyed it. I'd say I was probably about 100 pages in before the story line picked up for me, by the end I didn't want to put it down so I could find out what happened. "
— Kelly, 3/7/2011 -
" Fairly predictable but a nice fast read. "
