The Ivy Crown Summary

The Ivy Crown by Gill Vickery

Staying with their father in a bizarre Gothic house in a sinister woodland, Megan and her younger brother, Brand, are struggling to come to terms with their grief and guilt over their mother's recent death.



But the house harbours its own secrets, and soon Megan and Brand find themselves on a quest to find a priceless violin, and the truth about a young woman wrongly accused of witchcraft three centuries ago.



Megan and Brand discover they can put right the mistakes of the past - but only if they choose to accept a dangerous bargain ...

The Ivy Crown Reviews

This is a novel of three layers - a light, conventional topping of witchcraft and revenants, a chewy middle section about a treasure hunt for a lost violin, all resting on a serious study of bereavement and recovery . . . it is a satisfying cake of a story with some rich ingredients. * Carousel *
A brilliant debut novel from Gill Vickery in which she skillfully interweaves family tensions of the present with the evil events of the past - all entangled with the eerie house in Hopkins Hollow. An atmospheric, engrossing read. * Valerie Bierman *
