Loading... Rose Cottage (1997)by Mary Stewart
A sort-of mystery, in a very gentle way. Not at all like her Gothic stories, but much more easy to deal with just before bed. I wasn’t particularly struck by it in any way, but did like reading it. (Dec 2011) I suppose this is what might be termed a "cosy," a British mystery plumped up by the cushions of friendly neighbors, cups of tea, buttered scones, fresh eggs, healthful walks in the country, and hints of romance.Very nice but forgettable period piece.

I enjoyed the setting of late-forties rural England more, perhaps, than the story itself, but that is not really a criticism. Certainly not as plotty or suspenseful as others of Stewart's, but an afternoon's visit to an appealing time gone by with just enough goings on to keep one going on. Kathy Herrick's mother had left her when she was a little girl and gone off with the gypsies. Thinking that her mother is now dead, Kathy has returned to her childhood home - Rose Cottage - to claim it for her own. I liked this story very much and give it a C+! no reviews | add a review Is contained in
