Nov. 1st, 2018 12:41 amI remembered The Ivy Tree as being my favorite Mary Stewart on the basis of concept alone, but I'd only read it the once, circa 2007, and therefore decided it was about time to reread and discover if that was still true.
Spoiler: it totally is, The Ivy Tree is GREAT. Premise: Our Heroine Mary Grey has been recruited, Brat Farrar-like, to impersonate long-lost heiress Annabel, whose dying grandfather refuses to believe that she's dead, and whose dashing-but-sinister ex-fiance-and-cousin Con would very much like to get control of the estate without the trouble of having a legal battle with a missing person.
( The rest is spoilers! )
