Bette is the second book in the Women of Ivy Manor series by Lyn Cote. Bette is Chloe’s (from the first book) daughter. The time setting for this book is centered around World War II. At a time when women are not accepted in certain “roles,” Bette becomes a spy for the U.S. government, suffers through a disastrous marriage, and gives birth to another little “woman of Ivy Manor.” Even though Bette faces a troubled marriage, she has an interesting romance in her life - a man worth waiting for.
This book is quite interesting and kept me engaged throughout. I love the history in these books. At times, I felt like I wish I could talk some sense into the main character - ever feel that way? Her secret life during World War II was fascinating and even though she was very good at it, it took her way out of her comfort level. You can easily relate to the women in these books. I admire the women’s strength of character to do the right thing even though they face difficult circumstances. I say go girl power! I’m off to read Book 3 - “Leigh.”
