Who likes the sound of The House of the Weeping Willows (me!), Midnight for Cinderella or Lady by the Lake ? ![]() Title is another matter, however: in different notes there are several titles scored through. If you haven’t read Nine Coaches Waiting , I would suggest you read the plot summary but not this blog post – you might get horribly confused between versions if you go on to read the novel and, at least indirectly, this post contains spoilers.įirst of all, this is the first of her novels where I’ve seen no suggestion that Mary Stewart wanted to write under any other name there is no Mary Rainbow or Elizabeth Hayward here.
