Nine Coaches Waiting by Mary Stewart

4.0

Solid 4 1/2 stars. This book (written in the 1950's) has been aptly described as a cross between Jane Eyre and Rebecca. Those being two of my favorite books in the world, I was bound to love this book as well. And oh how I loved it. I stayed up devouring it until the wee hours of the morning. This book is a perfect blend of romance and suspense. I loved how the story alludes to a host of other famous works, including Cinderella, Macbeth (and other works of Shakespeare), Jane Eyre, and several famous poems (of which, I must admit, I am not as familiar with).
This book gave me chills and butterflies. I think that it's safe to say that I have a new book crush! I can't wait to grab more of Mary Stewart's books from the library.
