Touch Not The Cat

[lathany]

Earlier this month I read Touch Not The Cat by Mary Stewart. I enjoyed it; in particular I liked the central mystery and the descriptions of the house and its grounds. I quite liked the protagonist Bryony, although perhaps not as much as the two protagonists in the other books I read of hers as I found her rather passive. I was a fan of some of the minor characters though - such as the vicar and the portrayal of the American family. I'm not sure about the family gift in this book. It was an interesting idea, but I felt could have been used/described more for people other than Bryony (there were some references, but I felt there could have been more).
