One of the things I like to do in these Reading Notes series is trace out images or themes the author keeps returning to. I do not recommend it on that score at all. SURPRISE, I still feel that way! I also want to say right away that there is a disabled character in this book and the representation is TERRIBLE (evil, manipulative, villain of the whole thing). I’ve read it a couple of times already and have always had mixed feelings about parts of the plot and characterization. Nine Coaches Waiting is Stewart’s fourth book, published in 1958 and which is set contemporary to its publication date. Spoilers will be everywhere! Also I do some yelling in this post. In September I’ll be going back to some of Mary Stewart’s books, beginning with Nine Coaches Waiting.
