For most of the play had been played already there had been love and lust and revenge and fear and murder. And though the part I was to play in the tragedy was to break and re-form the pattern of my whole life, yet it was a very minor part, little more than a walk-on in the last act. Little do they know the murderous plots they are stumbling into, in this small, sleepy French town. They begin their leisurely vacation with a stay in the lovely walled city of Avignon, France: It's about 1950, and Charity, a young English widow (her husband died in WWII), is traveling with her former co-worker, Louise. This is my second-favorite* Mary Stewart book, one of her best old-fashioned romantic suspense novels. *2022 buddy read in the Mary Stewart group, starting today, April 1.
