Lifelong passionate reader. Mysteries, Fantasy, and Non-Fiction of various sorts. Currently reading a fair amount focused on WWI and the interwar years. (I have no idea why.)
I hadn't read Mary Stewart since the Merlin trilogy in junior high. This isn't terribly suspenseful,and would be mostly just a guilty pleasure were it not for the prose. Elegantly crafted and evocative writing. Smooth and rich as cocoa. A pleasure indeed.
