Marvelous Mary Stewart!

This is a fast paced, exciting short story that carries you along and makes you wish for more.

Great Short Story

Love this little short story...the mother is a wonderful character! Well written and a lot packed in to a short space!

Not a romance by instead a banger of a suspenseful short story.

I was scared throughout the story even though I knew it had to turn out okay Great suspense.

Short, but nice. Narration was good.

Nothing wrong with it. Classic Mary Stewart. It is a good example of how to write a short story.

Great Story!

Mary Stewart’s expertise is unassailable. It was great to find an unread story. It’s amazing how quickly she makes you care about her characters. I loved it and highly recommend this short story.
