Traveling to be with her fiancé’s terminally ill mother in her last days, Saoirse Read expected her introduction to the family’s ancestral home would be bittersweet. But the stark thrust of Langdon Hall against the cliff and the hundred darkened windows in its battered walls are almost as forbidding as the woman who lies wasting inside. Her fiancé’s parents make no secret of their distaste for Saoirse, and their feelings have long since spread to their son. Or perhaps it is only the shadows of her mind suggesting she’s unwelcome, seizing on her fears while her beloved grieves?As Saoirse takes to wandering the estate’s winding, dreamlike gardens, overgrown and half-wild with neglect, she slips back through time to 1818. There she meets Theo Page, a man like her fiancé but softer, with all the charms of that gentler age, and who clearly harbors a fervent interest in her. As it becomes clear that Theo is her fiancé’s ancestor, and the tenuous peace of Langdon Hall crumbles around her, Saoirse finds she’s no longer sure which dreams and doubts belong to the present—and which might not be dreams at all . . .

Brief Summary Where Ivy Dares to Grow by Marielle Thompson

The book follows our main character Saoirse as she goes with her fiancé, Jack, to his family’s ancestral home for his mother’s last weeks. Saoirse and Jack have been very distant – she has an unnamed-until-the-end mental illness and Jack treats her like she’s not in control of her mind and ready to snap. I’m biased since we were reading from Saoirse’s point of view, but I wanted to slap Jack. There was so much gaslighting happening (which the author warns about before the book starts) but it was rage inducing. His parents also don’t see Saoirse as worthy of marrying into their precious family and similarly treat her like she’s a lost child. At one point, Jack and his mother decide that Saoirse needs to quick her PhD program because they decided it’s too stressful for her Saoirse finds herself transported to 1818 where she meets Theo, an ancestor of the family. He’s the exact opposite of Jack the Jerk – he sees Saoirse as a whole person and shows her that she is worthy of love. They try to fight it but are drawn into a very sweet romance. Saoirse starts to question things Jack and his family have been making her believe about herself. As the mother’s death approaches and Saoirse becomes more aware of how (crappily) Jack treats her, she has to decide if she wants to stay in the past with Theo or follow through on marrying Jack.
