Rose Cottage

'Beautifully written' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Mary Stewart does it again!' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Vivid, enthralling, absolutely first class' Daily Mail Summer, 1947. Kate Herrick, widowed in the war, returns to Rose Cottage, her childhood home, to retrieve a few family papers before the house is sold. But Rose Cottage is not the idyllic paradise she remembers from her childhood. The papers themselves are missing, and neighbours tell stories of night-time prowlers. Kate discovers that the long shadow of an old secret lies over the house, and in bringing Rose Cottage into the light she will finally be forced to confront the truth of her own past... Rose Cottage is the last novel from the Queen of Suspense Mary Stewart, and is a classic of her writing. Combining romance, mystery, and a sparky heroine, Rose Cottage is a must-read for all classic literature fans.
