She has been working as a not very successful actress, and is now ‘resting’. The book is narrated by a young woman called Lucy. But I had no recollection of it at all, so am assuming I had not previously read it. If so, it would have seemed more contemporary, as it was published in 1964. It’s possible that I borrowed it from the library when I was a teenager, which is when I first discovered Mary Stewart. I have just finished reading one of them, ‘This Rough Magic’. I have several of her books, and have been re-reading them over the past year, so I was delighted when I found a few that I didn’t have in a charity shop in September. She wrote romantic thrillers in the middle and end of last century, with the romance being quite low-key, and the thrilling part usually not too stressful. I do enjoy the late Mary Stewart’s writing, although it’s in rather a different genre from my usual reading.
