I‘ve been exhausted for the last couple days and that‘s made it tough to concentrate, but I‘m gonna try to sink into one of my new Mary Stewarts tonight. Daisy will, of course, assist in between naps and outdoor snuggles.

Charity & her friend Louise are vacationing in Provence when things get a little more exciting than anticipated. Love, lust, murder & mayhem, mystery, ruins, romance & fantastic scenery—I read this way back in the day & it was just as much fun this time as it was the first. I will admit to a real fondness for romantic suspense from authors such as Stewart, Victoria Holt & Barbara Michaels. Old school escapist fun. Maybe Wildfire at Midnight next!
Love this cover bringing the drama.
Another cool cover.
1965 edition.
I finished a book for the first time in almost two weeks! Hoping my slump is ending... will probably still do another reread of a previously enjoyed book next rather than trying something new yet. Maybe in a few days I'll be ready to branch back out.
I'm rereading this book from one of my comfort authors (love me some Mary Stewart) to get my mojo back. Seems to be working: her style is very descriptive and I'm enjoying my virtual journey to the south of France.
I don't know why I like this one quite so much, because the dictatorial and initially terrifying love interest is a big turn off. Instalove is pretty par for the course anyway, so that aspect doesn't bother me much. I really enjoy Charity and her attitude to her deceased husband, though -- how she accepts the love and sadness, but is ready and willing to move on when the moment comes.
Snuggled with this dude a lot today. 💙 #BunniesofLitsy
