The ivy tree by mary stewart6/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() What I appreciate about most of Mary Stewart’s books is the normality of her characters and plots. But once she arrives, she begins to uncover more and more of Annabel’s past and the strange Winslow family, leaving her to wonder if she is in real danger from the gleam in Connor’s eyes. Mary Grey is asked to impersonate Annabel and accompany them to the family home where their grandfather is dying, claim her share of the inheritance, and then split it three-ways.Ĭonsidering that she has nothing better to do and no money, Mary acquiesces and leaves for the Winslow home. Of all the cousins, Annabel was their grandfather’s favorite and, even with her presumed death, Connor is unsure of his inheritance, despite the fact that he has been running the ancestral estate for the past eight years. The next day, however, his sister approaches her at the cafe where Mary works and makes her a proposition. She accepts the coincidence, but rebuffs his attempts to get to know her better. Mary Grey is enjoying a day’s rest by Hadrian’s Wall when she is suddenly accosted by a handsome stranger, Connor Winslow, who mistakes her for his dead cousin and fiance, Annabel Winslow. But you also count it a huge bonus that you enjoyed the book nonetheless. If you’re like me, you feel a bit smug when your page 30-hypothesis turns out to be true. ![]()
